The Italian Cup starts again with the round of 16 where, finally, the top eight of the last championship will take to the field. Juventus will open the games and will host Udinese at the Stadium. According to Sisal experts, Spalletti’s team starts as a clear favorite at 1.40, a draw is offered at 4.50 while it rises to 8.50 due to a Friulian blitz. Very wide gap also for the next round: 1.16 for Yildiz and his teammates, 5.00 for Udinese. Whoever prevails will challenge, in the quarterfinals, the winner between Atalanta and Genoa who will compete on Wednesday afternoon. Tuesday evening’s match is the fifth in the Italian Cup with Juventus, undefeated, who have not conceded a goal in their three most recent matches: a clean sheet from the hosts is played at 1.87. The consequence is that an exact result of 4-0, equal to the last match in the competition between the two teams, would pay 18 times the stakes. In an inside or outside match, however, no one pulls their leg back: an expulsion, at 5.25, or a VAR intervention, at 3.25, cannot be ruled out at all. Spalletti, also in view of the big match against Napoli next weekend, could give confidence to those who have played less: Zhegrova scores at 3.25 while an assist from Adzic at 4.50. At Udinese Nicolò Zaniolo, goals or assists at 5.00, wants to be a protagonist in the Italian Cup too.
Broadening the horizon of the competition, Inter, according to Sisal experts, remains the favorite for the final victory. Chivu’s Nerazzurri, who won the Italian Cup three times as a player, are offered at 5.00 with Juventus and Napoli, both at 6.00, as their main rivals. If successful, Inter would achieve their tenth victory in the tournament. At the foot of the podium is Milan, with odds of 7.50, who have not won the competition since 2003. If Bologna, holder of the trophy, plays at 9.00, Roma’s success, also with nine triumphs but the last one in 2008 with Spalletti on the bench, would pay 12 times the price
