Inter play German side Shalke in the UEFA Cup final first leg in Gelsenkirchen next Wednesday and 24 hours later Vicenza are away to Napoli in the first leg of the Italian Cup final.

Vicenza come into the game in eighth place on 39 points, just five behind fourth placed Sampdoria.
Inter's English midfielder Paul Ince and Frenchmen Jocelyn Angloma and Youri Djorkaeff are all ruled out of the UEFA Cup final through suspension and are expected to play against Vicenza.
Chilean striker Ivan Zamorano, scorer of five goals in a World Cup qualifier against Venezuela on Tuesday, may be rested ahead of Wednesday's final with Marco Branca and Maurizio Ganz leading the attack.
Argentine Javier Zanetti and Swiss international Ciriaco Sforza are expected to line out alongside Ince in midfield while Dutch midfielder Aron Winter and defender Salvatore Fresi are ruled out through suspension.
