Inter v Bologna

The Nerazzurri have been drawn against Bologna three times at this stage of the competition and have gone through on each occasion. The last encounter overall was a 3-2 Inter win in the quarter finals in 2012/13.

Former nerazzurri

There are three former Nerazzurri players currently at Bologna – Mattia Destro, Ibrahima Mbaye and Saphir Taider – while Stefano Pioli was in charge at the Emilian club from 2011 to 2014, reaching the Coppa Italia quarter finals one year where his side was beaten by Inter.

Eye on Palacio & Brozovic

Marcelo Brozovic bagged himself three goals in three games in the Coppa Italia last season, while Rodrigo Palacio has hit the back of the net in the last four domestic cup campaigns, registering seven goals in total.

MILAN - Inter are through to the Coppa Italia quarter-finals following a 3-2 extra-time victory over Bologna.

The Nerazzurri looked to be cruising after Jeison Murillo scored with a brilliant overhead kick and Rodrigo Palacio added a second.

However, Bologna were handed a lifeline before the break when Blerim Dzemail's shot was somewhat fortuitously deflected past Juan Carrizo by Geoffrey Kondogbia.

Stefano Pioli's men continued to boss proceedings in the second half but the vistors equalised through Godfred Donsah with their second effort on target.

The game went to extra time and it was substitiute Antonio Candreva who found the winner, steering home Mauro Icardi's cross.

Inter will now face Genoa or Lazio in the last eight on 31 January.
