Closing the programme for the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia will be the match scheduled for 9pm at the Allianz Stadium between Juventus and Frosinone.Massimiliano Allegri’s Bianconeri, who in the previous round eliminated Pippo Inzaghi’s Salernitana with a resounding 6-1, are coming off a comeback success against the Granata, fifteenth consecutive positive result (12 wins and three draws). Eusebio Di Francesco’s Ciociari, however, ousted Pisa (1-0), Torino (2-1) and Napoli from the competition, going on to win 4-0 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona against the reigning Italian champions. The yellow-blues, however, are going through a complicated period and have suffered four consecutive defeats in the championship, five in the last six.In their Serie A match on 23 December at Stirpe, the Vecchia Signora prevailed thanks to Kenan Yildiz’s goal (the first in the league) and Dusan Vlahovic’s late header.##NAJAVA_MECA_7789133##In Juventus, those who have played less are expected to find space again (Perin and Milik in particular), considering various ailments and the suspensions of Gatti and McKennie in the upcoming league match against Sassuolo. Rabiot, who has a problem with the flexor of the right thigh, is already certain to be absent, and there’s a slightly better chance for Chiesa, who missed the match against Arechi due to a knee issue. Cambiaso and Alex Sandro should return. There are some doubts around Vlahovic, who has a fever, and Iling, who suffered a knock to a calf. Frosinone, struggling in the league, is expected to have limited rotation. The Soule-Kaio Jorge pair, from Juventus’s academy, is expected to be regularly on the field.The winner will face Lazio in the double semi-final match, after the sky blues were victorious 1-0 in the derby against Roma on Wednesday night.COPPA ITALIA – 1/4 FINALSWednesday Lazio – Roma 1-0 (0-0)/Zaccagni 50 pen/Milan – Atalanta 1-2 (1-1)/Leao 45 – Koopmeiners 45+2, 59 pen/Thursday23.00: (1.35) Juventus (4.90) Frosinone (9.50)***odds are subject to change***
