Juventus faces Empoli in Coppa Italia quarter-finals

Juventus is set to face Empoli in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, aiming to defend their title and secure a place in the semi-finals against Bologna. Despite a mixed season, Juventus recently bounced back with a 1-0 league victory over Cagliari, bolstered by Dusan Vlahovic's performance. Historically, Juventus has dominated their encounters with Empoli, winning 80% of their league matches at home and recently defeating them 4-1. Empoli, however, has shown resilience in the tournament, reaching this stage after knocking out Torino and Fiorentina, despite struggling in Serie A. As they battle relegation, Empoli's focus may be split between pursuing the Coppa Italia and ensuring their survival in the top flight. The match will take place at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
