A semi-final second leg winner-takes-all situation will suit Inter Milan down to the ground, such is their experience of playing in these types of matches, not only in Italy but in Europe, too.
It was only last year that they came through a similar situation against Barcelona at San Siro, so the prospect of facing Como should not faze this group of players.
Cristian Chivu's men have come through their recent wobble well, and at the weekend, they move 12 points clear at the top of the Serie A table courtesy of a commanding 3-0 win over Cagliari on home turf.
With the league now all but wrapped up, Chivu can put more focus on the cup than he might have done a couple of weeks ago when Napoli were gaining ground on his side at the top of Serie A.
The injury is far from ideal for Chivu, though. Star man Lautaro Martinez remains unavailable, while Alessandro Bastoni has been ruled out with an ankle injury. In better news, Petar Sucic can return after serving a suspension.
As for Como, the wheels are threatening to come off what has been a superb second season back in Serie A since the early noughties.
A couple of weeks ago, Cesc Fabregas' side were in pole position for a place inside the top four and a first-ever crack at the UEFA Champions League. However, back-to-back defeats have seen them drift five points behind Juventus in fourth position.
There is an argument that Fabregas and his team have perhaps had one eye on this semi-final, hence the slump in league form, and if they can come out on top on Tuesday night, then a Coppa Italia final would make up for the disappointment of finishing outside the top four.
Fabregas' team talk should already be sorted. His side squandered a 2-0 lead against Inter earlier this month, and now is a chance to put that right. For the match on Tuesday, Jayden Addai and Sergi Roberto are Como's only absentees.
