JUVENTUS - HELLAS VERONA 6 - 1 Sebastian Giovinco (6') Roberto Pereyra (21') Sebastian Giovinco (45'+) Paul Pogba (53') Nenê 57' Álvaro Morata (Penalty -63') Kingsley Coman (78') Wednesday, January 15th, 2015 - 21:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Gianpaolo Calvarese Juventus 6-1 Hellas Verona: Coman stunner caps Coppa thrashing Sebastian Giovinco and Paul Pogba were also on target as the Serie A champions routed the visitors to book a clash against Parma. Jan 15, 2014 A stunning strike from Kingsley Coman capped a brilliant Juventus showing as they routed Hellas Verona 6-1 in the Coppa Italia on Thursday. After coming through a stern test in a 3-1 Serie A win at Napoli last Sunday, Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri opted to rest a number of his star players. Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Tevez were all left out of the squad, but their absence made little difference in a scintillating Juve display in Turin to set up a quarter-final clash with Parma. Sebastian Giovinco opened the scoring with a sixth-minute free kick and effectively sealed Juve's route through into the next round shortly before half-time with a close-range second that followed a superb solo effort from Roberto Pereyra. Paul Pogba then made it 4-0 eight minutes after the interval as the France midfielder netted for the second game running. Nene pulled one back for Verona four minutes, only for Alvaro Morata's 63rd-minute spot-kick and a stunning late sixth from substitute Coman to cap off the rout just three days before the league meeting between the two at the same stadium. Gustavo Campanharo wasted a glorious early chance for Verona in the second minute as he shot well wide from close range and the visitors were quickly punished by Giovinco. The forward found the roof of the net with a curling free kick that Verona goalkeeper Rafael was unable to keep out despite getting a strong hand to the shot. Juve pressed to try to put the tie beyond doubt and, after Morata had been denied by Rafael, deservedly doubled their lead through a piece of brilliance from Pereyra in the 21st minute. Pereyra showcased his electric pace as he broke down the right before cleverly poking the ball into the bottom-left corner. Marco Storari was finally forced into action at the other end as he tipped a Nico Lopez effort over before Juve were dealt a blow when Angelo Ogbonna limped off. The centre-back, who had earlier been the victim of a rash challenge from Nene, was replaced by Giorgio Chiellini in the 39th minute. Despite looking far from solid at the back, Juve were always in command and Giovinco made the game safe in first-half stoppage time. Giovinco was presented with the simple task of slotting home Stephan Lichtsteiner's pull back from point-blank range after the Swiss - fresh from extending his contract on Tuesday - had linked up well with Pereyra. Lopez served as Verona's only real attacking threat and forced Storari to palm his swerving effort over seven minutes after the restart. Juve immediately went down the other end and scored, though, Pogba tucking the ball home from two yards out at the second attempt after Simone Pepe's right-wing cross had deflected off Rafael Marquez. Marquez almost instantly atoned for his defensive error by flicking a near-post corner into the path of Nene to prod into an unguarded net. That goal was nothing more than a footnote in a devastating Juve performance, however, with Morata making it 5-1 from 12 yards. Mexican Marquez was at fault again as he upended Giovinco, allowing the former Real Madrid man to beat Rafael low down to his right with a coolly taken penalty. And there was still time for Juve to add another as Coman cut in from the left and powering an unstoppable shot into the top-left corner.

Ci manca solo quello.

Non c'é un posto per Saviola in questo Verona?

JUVENTUS - HELLAS VERONA - Wednesday, January 15th, 2015 - 21:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Gianpaolo Calvarese Line-ups: Juventus-Verona Jan 15, 2014 Sebastian Giovinco and Alvaro Morata start tonight’s Coppa Italia Round of 16 clash between Juventus and Verona. It kicks off at the Juventus Stadium in Turin at 21.00 CET and is a one-off elimination round. The winners will go on to face Parma in the quarter-finals on January 28. Andrea Pirlo, Gigi Buffon and Carlos Tevez are among those rested for Juve’s first match in the tournament this season. Arturo Vidal is not even on the bench, as the Chile international is suffering from tonsillitis. It could well be Giovinco’s final appearance in a Bianconeri jersey, as his contract expires in June and he will likely be sold before then to avoid losing him on a free transfer. Young talent Alvaro Morata also features with Simone Pepe making his first start since 2012 after a series of injury problems. Winger Pepe has played just 38 minutes for Juventus over the last three seasons. Verona arrive with numerous absentees, as Luca Toni has been ruled out by flu symptoms. Also missing are Juanito Gomez Taleb, Mounir Obbadi, Artur Ionita, Bosko Jankovic and Evangelos Moras. Hellas reached this stage by beating Cremonese 3-0 and Serie B outfit Perugia 1-0. Unusually for a Coppa Italia Round of 16 tie, this is sold out with 40,000 people set to attend this evening. Juventus: Storari; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Ogbonna, Padoin; Pepe, Marchisio, Pogba; Pereyra; Morata, Giovinco Juventus bench: Buffon, Rubinho, Chiellini, Romagna, Evra, Mattiello, Vitale, Coman, Llorente Verona: Rafael; Sorensen, Rodriguez, R Marquez, Agostini; Campanharo, Tachtsidis, Hallfredsson; Valoti; Nico Lopez, Nene Verona bench: Benussi, Gollini, Saviola, Greco, Christodoulopoulos, Marques, Sala, Brivio, Martic, Fares, Capelluzzo, Checchin

JUVENTUS - HELLAS VERONA - Wednesday, January 15th, 2015 - 21:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Gianpaolo Calvarese Pepe could start for Juventus Jan 15, 2014 Simone Pepe could make his first Juventus start since 2012 in tonight’s Coppa Italia clash with Verona. The winger has struggled with injury, and has played just 38 minutes for the Bianconeri in the past three seasons, with his sole appearance this campaign being a three minute cameo in the win over Cesena in September. However, Calciomercato reports that the former Udinese man could start for Max Allegri’s men when Verona visit Juventus Stadium in the Coppa Italia tonight. The website believes that Allegri will experiment with a 4-3-3 system against the Butei, with Pepe and Sebastian Giovinco lining up alongside Alvaro Morata. However, Tuttosport believes that the Coach will stick with his 4-3-1-2 formation, with Kingsley Coman partnering Alvaro Morata. Gigi Buffon will be rested, with Marco Storari taking up his mantle as is habitually the case in the Cup. Youth product Federico Mattiello could also be given his first start for the club, but Tuttosport indicates he is more likely to replace Stephan Lichtsteiner as a second half substitute. Unusually for a Coppa Italia game, the match is a sellout, with 40,000 people set to be in attendance, in stark contrast with the 8,000 who took in Milan’s tie with Sassuolo. Probable Juventus XI to play Verona: Storari; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Ogbonna, Padoin; Vidal, Marchisio, Pereyra; Pepe, Morata, Giovinco

JUVENTUS - HELLAS VERONA - Wednesday, January 15th, 2015 - 21:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Gianpaolo Calvarese Juventus-Verona Betting: Bianconeri to remain on course for long-awaited Coppa Italia triumph Massimiliano Allegri's men are seeking to end a 20-year wait for a 10th cup win, and Al Hain-Cole expects them to keep that dream alive despite conceding against the Gialloblu. Jan 15, 2014 Juventus will be aiming to bring their 20-year wait for a 10th Coppa Italia triumph to an end when they welcome Hellas Verona to Turin in Thursday's last-16 clash. The Bianconeri have not lifted the trophy since 1995's two-legged victory over Parma in the final but are clear favourites with Unibet to keep their dreams of finally reaching double figures alive by coming out on top tonight. Unlike their opponents, Andrea Mandorlini's men have already come through two rounds to reach this stage, and are available at to add the national champions to Cremonese and Perugia as cup scalps. The hosts have drawn their last three consecutive matches on home turf and you can get odds of on them being forced into extra-time with a tied 90 minutes this evening. Fans watching their side lift the trophy for the ninth time back in 1995 would have been horrified at the prospect of their side still being without the silver star to commemorate 10 titles 20 years on. Massimiliano Allegri’s team have lost out in three finals since then, while also suffering the ignominy of seeing Roma draw level on nine wins after victories in both 2007 and 2008. With this in mind, their will be no shortage of motivation for the home side as they seek to embark on the triumphant cup run that their supporters have for so long been clamouring for, and their strong home record of 25 wins and two draws in the last 27 domestic home games should give them plenty of confidence. However, Allegri will have been slightly unnerved by his team’s uncharacteristically sloppy streak at the back in recent matches, having seen his team now go five matches without keeping a clean sheet. Considering the Gialloblu have hit the back of the net five times in their last six matches on the road, they must be backed to breach the Juventus defence for the third consecutive encounter, with odds of too good to miss on the hosts coming out on top in a game featuring goals at both ends.
