Having already discovered their next opponent in the Champions League next year, as well as now overtaken Roma for fourth spot in Serie A, Juventus will now have to turn their attention to the third competition on their list - the Coppa Italia. The Bianconeri could face a stern test as they prepare to welcome none other than cross-town rivals Torino to Juventus Stadium fora round of 16 clash later today.
Juventus
Given that Juventus, unlike some other Serie A sides, were actually given an opponent in the same tier for their round of 16 Coppa Italia clash, this will be a game that Allegri will not take too lightly. After all, the Bianconeri are currently the reigning champions after they became the first side to reach 10 titles when they defeated Lazio last season. And the last thing they certainly would want is to be dumped out at such an early stage - especially not by one's bitter city rivals.
Despite their next game being against minnows Carpi - a team that, given Juve's current form - should pose no problems, nonetheless the hard-fought win over Fiorentina took quite a mammoth effort from Allegri's men, who had to come from behind after Fiorentina were given an early (and perhaps controversial) penalty. As such, the Italian tactician will certainly opt to rotate some members of his squad. For starters, players like second-choice goalkeeper Neto and young defender Daniele Rugani will definitely be called into action, meaning that Gigi Buffon and at least one of the team's "BBC" will be given a rest.
French star Paul Pogba may also sit this game out, and in attack, Alvaro Morata, who has struggled for goals and to nail down a spot in the starting XI will likely start. The Spanish international could be paired with Simone Zaza, another player seeking game-time to give a rest of some sorts to Allegri's first choice pairing of Paolo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic, both of whom were on target in the 3-1 win over the Viola last weekend.
In terms of injuries, Kwadwo Asamoah and Mario Lemina will both be unavailable due to knee problems, but both Hernanes and Robert Pereyra were named in the squad for tonight's game.
The last time the two sides clashed in the Derby della Mole, it was La Vecchia Signora to get the better of the Granata, courtesy of a late goal from Juan Cuadrado.
Torino
Meanwhile the visitors themselves have been in a solid run of form as of late. Since suffering a 1-0 reversal to Inter Milan back on November 8th, Giampiero Ventura's side have won three - including a 4-1 thrashing of Cesena in last round's Coppa Italia tie - and drawn one in their past four games across all competitions. Whilst he will have to make do without several players, including Marco Benassi, Joel Obi, and Nikola Maksimovic, Ventura will be keen on avenging his team's loss from back in October during the first Derby della Mole meeting of the 2015/2016 season.
In April, Torino finally ended a two-decades long wait to defeat their city rivals, with ex-Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella coming back to haunt his former club by scoring the winning goal. Nonetheless, it's the Bianconeri with by far the better head-to-head record, and given their imperious form as of late, Torino will have to put in a top-notch performance in order to dump them out of this competition.
