AC Milan's main goal is to win this competition. The winner of this tournament gains direct entry into the Champions League. In the league, they are currently in a good moment, competing with Juventus for the second place. Milan is expected to finish the league in Champions League positions. In their last league match, they secured a crucial away victory against Lazio. Their next match against Empoli is theoretically easier. For this game, the coach will field the best team to try to settle the tie in the first leg and rest some players in the second leg.

Slavia Prague had two very tough games against their historic rival, drawing both, but one led to their elimination from the cup. Last season, Slavia Prague saw their biggest rival take away their dominance in the league, with Sparta Prague becoming the national champions. In the previous round, they didn't play in the Europa League because they finished first in their group. Slavia Prague has never won in Italy in eight previous attempts, losing seven, including a 2-0 defeat against Roma in this season's Europa League group stage. Milan is the better team, with players capable of making the difference compared to Slavia Praha. Playing at home with the support of their fans, Milan is obligated to perform well, dominate the game, and secure the victory.

AC米兰的主要目标是赢得这场比赛。本场比赛的冠军将直接进入欧洲冠军联赛。在联赛中，他们现在正处于一个很好的时刻，与尤文图斯争夺第二的位置。米兰有望以冠军联赛的排名结束联赛。在上一场联赛中，他们在客场对拉齐奥取得了关键的胜利。他们下一场对恩波利的比赛理论上会比较容易。对于这场比赛，教练将派出最好的球队在第一回合争取扳平比分，并在第二回合休息一些球员。

布拉格斯拉维亚与他们的宿敌进行了两场非常艰难的比赛，两场比赛都平局，但其中一场比赛导致他们被淘汰出局。上个赛季，布拉格斯拉维亚看到他们最大的竞争对手夺走了他们在联赛中的统治地位，而布拉格斯巴达成为了全国冠军。在上一轮，他们没有参加欧联杯，因为他们小组第一。布拉格斯拉维亚此前在意大利的8次尝试中从未获胜，输掉了7场，包括本赛季欧联杯小组赛0 - 2负于罗马。米兰是一支更好的球队，与斯拉维亚相比，米兰的球员有能力发挥作用。在球迷的支持下在主场比赛，米兰有义务表现出色，控制比赛，并确保胜利。
