Coppa Italia preview: Semi-finals shown live on Sky Sports

TURIN, ITALY - JANUARY 26:  Mario Balotelli of AC Milan scores the opening goal from the penalty spot during the TIM Cup match between US Alessandria and A

The Coppa Italia returns this week live on Sky Sports as AC Milan host Alessandria and holders Juventus play Inter Milan.

Lega Pro A side Alessandria have been the fairytale story of the competition - becoming the first side from the Italian third tier to make the quarter-finals since the 1983/84 season.

However, they currently trail AC Milan in their semi-final fixture, with Mario Balotelli netting his first goal in four months in the first leg to give the Serie A side a 1-0 lead heading into Tuesday's game.

Coppa Italia holders Juventus hold a 3-0 advantage over their opponents Inter from the first leg - with Massimiliano Allegri's men also winning their league meeting on Sunday. 

Alvaro Morata scored twice in the reverse fixture, with Pablo Dybala adding a third late on and Inter ending the game with ten men after Jeison Murillo's red card - meaning he will miss Wednesday's clash at the San Siro.
