Atalanta and Lazio meet in a decisive second leg with a place in the Coppa Italia final on the line, following a 2-2 draw in the first leg.
La Dea come into this clash under pressure after a 1-1 draw with Roma dented their hopes of securing European qualification through the league.
Their focus now shifts fully to ending a 63-year wait for domestic cup success, with just two games left to lift the trophy.
However, form has dipped at a crucial stage of the season, with just two wins from their last ten matches in all competitions.
There is reason for optimism at home, though, as they have been dominant in earlier rounds of the competition, thrashing Genoa and Juventus to reach this stage.
Lazio, seven-time winners of the competition, are aiming to return to the final for the first time since their 2018-19 triumph, ironically, against Atalanta.
They arrive in strong form after becoming the first team to win away at Napoli in the league this season, securing a 2-0 victory.
Under Maurizio Sarri, Lazio have been reliable on the road, losing just twice since December, and will be confident of building on that momentum.
They have already eliminated last season’s finalists AC Milan and Bologna, en route to the semi-finals, but failing to take a first-leg advantage means they must deliver a strong away performance to progress.
