Match preview
After causing a big upset in the previous round, can Torino reach a first Coppa Italia semi-final since 1994?
Last month, Michel Ndary Adopo’s goal in extra time saw Il Toro beat A.C. Milan 1-0 at San Siro, despite the fact Koffi Djidji had been sent off mid-way through the second half.
This was a massive upset, with Torino now dreaming of lifting this trophy for the first time in 30 years.
In Serie A right now, Ivan Jurić’s team are challenging for Europe, sat eighth, following Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Empoli.
In that one, they were actually 2-0 down with just eight minutes to play, only for Samuele Ricci and then Antonio Sanabria to snatch a point.
So, do Torino come into this tie as favourites?
In the round of 16, I Viola overcame Sampdoria, with Antonín Barák the only scorer.
Meantime, Vincenzo Italiano’s side are 12th in Serie A, three points worse-off than their visitors, following a 1-1 draw with Lazio on Sunday evening.
Just 12 days ago, Torino won 1-0 in Florence; Aleksei Miranchuk the only scorer that night.
Will Stadio Artemio Franchi witness a repeat result, with the winners facing Roma or Cremonese in the semi-finals?
