Coppa Italia for a long time escaped from Juve, as the last time when the "Bianconeri" won it was in 1994-1995 year.

Massimiliano Allegri will not be able to use Arturo Vidal, who was injured in the last match against Empoli. With him out from the scheme with various injuries are Paul Pogba, Claudio Marchisio, Paolo De Ceglie, Martin Caceres, Romulo and Asamoah. Pirlo is back in action after injuring his calf and is the holder. The attack probably will be entrusted to the duo Tevez-Morata.
