Atalanta and Juventus battle for a place in the semifinals

The last time the two sides met in the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa was in the 2023/24 season, with the trophy up for grabs under the skies of the Olimpico. Atalanta and Juventus meet again in the competition, as they look to book their place in the semifinals. Both the Nerazzurri and the Bianconeri entered the competition in the previous round: the Bergamo-based side cruised to a 4–0 home win over Genoa thanks to goals from Djimsiti, De Roon, Pašalić and Ahanor, while the Turin outfit knocked out Udinese with a 2–0 victory at the Allianz Stadium, courtesy of an own goal by Palma and a Locatelli penalty.
