It's been over 20 years since AC Milan last won Italy's most prestigious cup competition — a surprising anomaly for a club whose history is steeped in such success. In a league season to forget for Sérgio Conceição's side, the Coppa Italia has been a beacon. The apex came in a semi-final victory over local enemies Inter, with Luka Jović's goals likely to go down in San Siro history if the Rossoneri go on to clinch the cup.

Bologna's wait for glory has been even longer, as the historically successful side have now waited since the 1974 Coppa Italia to lift a significant trophy. Many feared that losing Thiago Motta as manager may lead them spiraling into freefall, but Vincenzo Italiano has enjoyed a decent season that sees them sitting above Wednesday's rivals in Serie A.
