To reach the semifinals of the National Cup, Torino head coach Ivan Juric even sacrificed the away game against Empoli, fielding an experimental lineup. The plan didn't work. Torino lost with a score of 2:2 and failed to beat Fiorentina 1:2. It should be noted that the first Turin team conceded two unanswered goals in the Cup meeting and scored an insignificant goal only at the end of the game. Now the Pomegranate side has only the domestic league title remaining, where they are currently sitting in eighth place, 10 points behind the Europa League group stage.
Udinese
After Udinese beat Sampdoria away (1:0), breaking their unbeaten streak of ten matches in Serie A, the team hosted Verona. Udine conceded a goal in the fourth minute thanks to a goal by former CSKA Moscow defender Rodrigo Bekao. But quickly managed to get back into the game as early as the 21st minute. Surprisingly, the teams didn't score again after a quick exchange of goals (1:1). Udinese once again lost points in a match with an outsider and now sit seventh in the league table, two points ahead of Torino and eight points behind the Eurocup competitions.
Expert Betting Tips
This season Torino plays on the home field almost exclusively low-scoring matches. It's very likely to happen this time, too. After all, Pomegranate will meet with Udinese in three days on the fourth after the Italian Cup, which means that head coach Ivan Djuric will rotate the squad, leaving some key players, including attacking ones, such as Alexei Miranchuk and Antonio Sanabria, in the reserves.
In addition, we should consider betting on Udinese's success here. Just as Torino lost to La Spezia at home after the Italian Cup match with AC Milan the previous time, it is quite possible to lose in the game with Udine after the meeting with Fiorentina.
