The Italian champions start with the predictions in favour, but they must be careful not to underestimate the team coached by Runjaic, capable of putting Lautaro and his teammates in serious difficulty in this Serie A clash.
On that occasion, in fact, the Nerazzurri’s 2-3 victory at the “Bluenergy Stadium” came with great difficulty, thanks to a brace from “Toro”.
The winner will face Lazio in the quarter-finals, in the last pairing, which will complete the draw.

Inter, penalty first awarded and then revoked with VAR
No penalty for Inter after the referee’s on field review following the suggestion of VAR.

Marotta on the market and Inzaghi-Dimarco-Premier
Giuseppe Marotta, president of Inter, spoke to Sport Mediaset a few minutes before the start of the Italian Cup match against Udinese about the rumors about the Premier’s interest in Inzaghi and Dimarco:
“It’s probably true, in the sense that our players are certainly appreciated, not only in Italy but in the rest of Europe and therefore also in England. They have demonstrated in practice that they are up to par with the best European clubs, but we are a club who just wants to sell and our players want to stay with us. We are happy with their sense of belonging, it has been a united group for a few years and we would like to continue on this path.”
Then on the January market:
“In principle we would like to continue with this group, which is trusting and is ready to face the challenges needed to achieve the objectives. If someone expresses the desire to leave, we will listen to them and we will evaluate. Today there is nothing at all ‘horizon”.
