All eyes are on Inter Milan as they prepare to battle it out against Atalanta in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals on Tuesday night.
Inter had to fight through a tough test from Parma and scrapped through with a 2-1 win after extra time to book their spot in this quarterfinal clash.
Meanwhile, Atalanta had it easier as they romped to a thrilling 5-2 victory over Spezia inspired by an Ademola Lookman brace.
Inter have lost only one of their last nine matches in all competitions, while Atalanta are unbeaten in six competitive games.
Atalanta have scored 22 goals in that six-game period, where they have recorded four victories and two draws.
The hosts are coming from a 2-1 victory against Cremonense in the Serie A, while Atalanta were 2-0 winners against Sampdoria over the weekend.
Inter have already added one trophy to their collection this season, winning the Italian Super Cup earlier this month with a comfortable 3-0 victory over their rivals AC Milan.
Despite being eliminated by Fiorentina at the quarter-final stage last season, Atalanta have reached the semi-finals in three of the last five seasons.
They are on the quest to win the Coppa Italia for a second time in their history with their previous win coming in 1963.
