Prediction for the Coppa Italia match which will take place on February 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Juventus

Being knocked out of the Champions League, with Dutch PSV unexpectedly becoming an insurmountable obstacle for the Turin side, has forced Juventus to concentrate. In the match of the previous round of the championship on the road against Cagliari, which took place on Sunday evening, Juve acted very carefully, minimized the danger at their gates and did not miss. The Turin side scored only once, but that was enough for victory. 1:0 - Dusan Vlahovic scored the only goal in the 12th minute of the game.

Thus, Juventus extended their winning streak in the league to four matches in a row. Before that, the Bianconeri beat Empoli at home (4:1), beat Inter 1:0, and also scored three points away against Como 2:1. In the standings, Juve have secured their place in the Champions League zone and are two points ahead of fifth-placed Lazio. But the Turin side are now not that far behind the first place - on eight points. It looks like Juventus are ready to get back into the race for the Scudetto at the end of the season.

Empoli

Empoli, on the other hand, have nothing to look forward to but a fight for survival. And it is not a fact that it will be successful for the Tuscans. In the previous match Roberto D'Aversa's team once again fell apart. On their home field, the Blues conceded five unanswered goals from Atalanta - 0:5. And by the 55th minute, four unanswered goals flew into Empoli's net.

In general, the Blues lost their fourth consecutive game, and over the last 11 matches they lost nine times, without winning a single match in this stretch. Empoli have fallen into the relegation zone in Serie A, they are two points off the 17th place, and the Italian Cup is hardly the tournament where the Tuscans should be stressing right now.
