The most interesting tie of the Coppa Italia quarter-finals will see Serie A leaders Juventus play host to resurgent Roma.

Juventus were expected to show some improvement this season following the heavy summer recruitment, but the Bianconeri have done much better than anyone could predict.

With the first part of the league campaign officially over, Juventus are the only unbeaten side in the elite division, although they are just one and three points clear of Milan and Udinese respectively at the Serie A summit.

The 2-0 win over Atalanta at a very difficult ground in Bergamo proved that the Old Lady are on top of their game at the moment, and they will certainly be looking to do well in this Coppa Italia clash.

Seeing that the Bianconeri have won five straight home games before sharing spoils with Cagliari, backing Juve to win this game at 2.00 (1/1) offered by BetVictor looks like the right thing to do.

Antonio Conte is expected to make some changes to the starting line-up, but Simone Pepe and Claudio Marchisio are unlikely to be risked after picking up injuries against Atalanta.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Storari – Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Di Ceglie – Marrone, Pazienza, Vidal – Del Piero, Borriello, Giaccherini.

Roma may have entered the season as one of the favourites for the top 3 finish, but the Giallorossi needed almost six months to prove their credentials.

New boss Luis Enrique needed some time to get the team playing the way he wanted them to, but everyone at the club can be perfectly happy with team’s recent displays.

After sharing spoils with Juventus in Serie A, the Giallorossi went on to win next five games in all competitions, with weekend’s 5-1 victory over Cesena the highlight of their season so far.

Roma players are now full of confidence and determined to prove their worth against one of the strongest sides in Italy, and you should know Roma are 2.62 (13/8) with Paddy Power to qualify for the semi-final.

Daniele De Rossi is not yet ready to return, whereas Marco Cassetti, Pablo Daniel Osvaldo and Nicolas Burdisso are long-term casualties.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Stekelenburg – Rosi, Kjaer, Juan, Heinze – Perotta, Gago, Pjanic – Bojan, Totti, Lamela.
