Prediction: 2-0
Empoli
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cagliari, Juventus will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Empoli in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals. The Bianconeri are on a four-game winning run in the Serie A, but they want to go all the way in the Italian Cup as well. Dusan Vlahovic should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring the winner against the Rossoblu, while Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz have joined the likes of Bremer, Cabal, Kalulu, Savona, Milik, and Veiga in the treatment room.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last four league matches. Given Juve’s signs of improvement in the national championship, we are tempted to put our money on Thiago Motta’s men. To make things even worse for the away team, their injury list is pretty long ahead of the trip to Turin.
