Will there be extra-time if the score is level?

Not anymore there won’t.

Organisers have confirmed that they have scrapped extra-time in the Coppa Italia for the remainder of the season to minimise player’s injuries.

So should the tie be level on away goals after the two legs, the match will go straight to penalties.

This will be the same for Wednesday night’s final, which will go to penalties if match is drawn after 90 minutes.

Napoli currently lead 1-0 after the first leg, so a 1-0 win for Inter tonight will take the tie into penalties.

When is the Coppa Italia final?

Napoli or Inter will face Juventus in the Coppa Italia final.

The final will take place this coming Wednesday, June 17 from Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.

Juve reached the final after overcoming Milan on away goals last night.

  • Napoli vs Inter takes place tonight from San Paolo Stadium.
  • The match kicks off at 8pm BST, or 9pm local time.
  • As with all games for the remainder of the season, it will be played behind closed doors.

What TV channel is Napoli vs Inter on?

BT Sport 1 will be showing the match in the UK.

Coverage begins on the channel 15 minutes before kick off, at 7.45pm.
