After a challenging Serie A season, Juventus shift their focus to defending the Coppa Italia, hosting Cagliari in Turin.
Juventus' 2024 has been marked by a series of draws, including a 2-2 stalemate with bottom-placed Venezia on Saturday, despite Dusan Vlahovic’s late equalizer. They have won just three of nine home games this season, their worst start at the Allianz Stadium since 1988. While still unbeaten in domestic competitions, Juventus are nine points behind Serie A leaders Atalanta BC. However, they are performing better in the Champions League, where a 2-0 win over Manchester City has kept their knockout hopes alive.
Now, Juventus turn to the Coppa Italia to defend their title, having edged Atalanta in last season's final. Cagliari, struggling near the relegation zone, are hoping to cause an upset after knocking out Carrarese and Cremonese. A win would see them face Empoli in the quarter-finals, with home advantage, and coach Davide Nicola aims to set up a thrilling clash with his former club.
