Juventus to face Catania in Italian Cup round of sixteen

While they wait their turn to play in the competition at last, Juventus have learned the name of their first TIM Italian Cup opponents. The Bianconeri will face Catania, coached by Walter Zenga, in the round of sixteen, which is played over two games.

The Sicilian side had the better of Padova in the fourth round match. On Wednesday night, while Ranieri's men were beating Zenit at the Olimpico, Catania trounced the Veneto side (the only third division side still in the competition at that point) 4-0 thanks to two goals by Japanese player Morimoto and goals by Dica and Sabato.
