Juventus host Sampdoria in the round of 16 of the 2021-22 Coppa Italia on Tuesday.
The Bianconeri are looking to retain their title for the first time since a run of four consecutive wins from 2015 to 2018.
They have reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the past 14 consecutive years.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side bounced back from Italian Super Cup heartache against Inter Milan with a 2-0 defeat of Udinese in Serie A on Saturday.
They’re now unbeaten in eight consecutive top-flight matches and sit in fifth place, having teetered near mid-table for much of the first half of the season.
Sampdoria are coming off the back of a five-game winless run after a 2-1 win over Torino in the second round of the Coppa Italia.
That includes a defeat in each of their last three outings.
La Samp have reached the last 16 of the cup for the first time since the 2018-19 season and are now aiming to cause a huge upset and reach the last eight, a stage they haven’t reached in 11 years.
