AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is positive about his team winning a Serie A and Coppa Italia double.
Milan held Roma to a goalless draw at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday to capture their first league crown since 2004 and now turn their attention to Tuesday's Coppa Italia semi-final return leg at Palermo.
Betting for the event has AC Milan at 1.90 to win the match in the Full Time Result market, after the Rossoneri were held to a 2-2 draw by Palermo in the opening leg at the San Siro. Palermo are 4.00 to win the game, with a draw currently 3.40.
AC Milan are now 1213.00 to win the Coppa Italia outright, with their opponents Palermo 3.25 to do the same. Inter Milan can be backed at 1.33 to be the tournament's victors.
"Now we just have to focus on the Coppa Italia," Ibrahimovic said. "We hope to do well on Tuesday and get to the final, then we will think about next season's aims.
"Next year we want to win three titles."
Ibrahimovic missed five key games through suspension this year but the striker, who joined Milan last summer from Barcelona, was in ecstatic mood after clinching his third Italian title.
"I have won the Scudetto with the three top teams in Italy (Juventus, Inter and AC Milan)," said the Swede.
"I have been six years in Italy and I have always won.
"I want to thank Milan president Silvio Berlusconi for bringing me to Milan and for allowing me to return to smile.
"I came to Milan to win and we have done that.
"I hope to make history with Milan, I am very happy here."
Along with team-mate Alessandro Pato, Ibrahimovic is Milan's joint-leading scorer with 14 goals. The Swede can be supported at odds of 4.75 to be the game's first scorer and is 1.90 to score at any time during the match against Palermo on Tuesday night.
