Pre-Match Analysis
Inter Milan: The Scudetto Leaders
Inter is arguably the most in-form team in Europe right now. Under the management of Cristian Chivu, the Nerazzurri sit eight points clear at the top of Serie A following a clinical 2-0 victory over Cremonese last weekend.
Inter has become a dominant force in the Coppa Italia in recent years, and they made their intentions clear this season with a 5-1 thrashing of Venezia in the previous round. While league dominance is the priority, Chivu is eager to secure a 10th Coppa Italia title for the club.
Torino: The Underdog Hopefuls
Torino enters this match as heavy underdogs but carries the momentum of a hard-fought 1-0 win over Lecce. Manager Marco Baroni has stabilized the "Maroons" in the middle of the Serie A table, and their run in the cup has been nothing short of impressive.
Torino reached the quarter-finals by sensationally knocking out Roma with a 3-2 victory at the Stadio Olimpico. However, their historical record against Inter is a major psychological hurdle; they have lost their last seven consecutive meetings against the Milan giants.
Team News & Injury Reports
Inter Milan Team News
With a packed February schedule, Chivu is expected to rotate his squad.
Absences: Denzel Dumfries, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella remain sidelined with muscle injuries.
Returning: Carlos Augusto is back in the squad after missing the Cremonese match.
Opportunities: Backup goalkeeper Josep Martinez and veteran Matteo Darmian are likely to start. Ange-Yoan Bonny may partner Marcus Thuram up front if Lautaro Martinez is rested.
Torino Team News
Marco Baroni faces a significant injury crisis, especially in his defensive unit.
Out: Ardian Ismajli, Gvidas Gineitis, Zakaria Aboukhlal, and Adam Masina are all ruled out.
Long-term: Perr Schuurs remains a long-term absentee with a cruciate ligament injury.
New Faces: Recent signings Matteo Prati and Luca Marianucci could start after making their debuts last weekend.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Inter Milan (3-5-2):
J. Martinez; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Diouf, Zielinski, Frattesi, Carlos Augusto; Thuram, Bonny.
Torino (3-5-2):
Paleari; Marianucci, Maripan, Coco; Pedersen, Vlasic, Prati, Casadei, Obrador; Adams, Kulenovic.
Head-to-Head (H2H) and Key Stats
The Streak: Inter has won 7 successive matches against Torino, including a 5-0 thrashing earlier this season.
Defensive Wall: Inter has kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 wins across all competitions.
Olympic Relocation: This is a "home" game for Inter but played in Monza due to the 2026 Winter Olympics preparations at San Siro.
Goal Machine: Inter has averaged 2.26 goals per match this season.
Prediction: Inter Milan 2-0 Torino
While Torino’s victory over Roma in the previous round proved they can pull off an upset, Inter's depth and current momentum are likely too much to overcome. Even with a rotated side, Chivu’s tactical discipline and the form of players like Marcus Thuram should see the Nerazzurri through to the semi-finals comfortably.
Top Betting Tips:
Match Result: Inter to win with a -1.5 Handicap. They have covered this line in seven of their last ten home games.
Both Teams to Score: No. Inter's defense is rarely breached by teams in the bottom half of the table.
Anytime Goalscorer: Marcus Thuram. With 3 goals in his last 10 games and likely leading a rotated line, he is the primary threat.
