Torino take on the visitors Empoli in the round of 1/16-finals of Coppa Italia. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 24th at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin).
In recent years, Torino has played under the management of Ivan Jurić. He has undoubtedly improved the team, but they have yet to break into European competition spots. Last season, they accumulated 53 points, finishing ninth once again. Empoli, meanwhile, scraped together 36 points—just enough to stay ahead of Frosinone by one point, who were eventually relegated.

Empoli has lost just one of their last eleven games During the summer, Empoli appointed Roberto D'Aversa, a talented coach, though he made headlines for a brawl with players from another team while at Lecce. The club also brought in several new signings, mostly on loan, including Pellegri, Solbakken, Anjorin, and Sazonov. However, the Georgian player Sazonov has sustained a serious injury. Key defender Walukiewicz transferred to Torino, and other new arrivals in Turin include Koko, Che Adams, Sosa, Pedersen, and Maripán.
Vanoli, the new head coach of "Granata," has started off well. In the Coppa Italia, they beat Cosenza 2-0, and in Serie A, they alternated wins over Atalanta and Venezia with draws against Milan (where they led by two goals) and Lecce. A win over Verona propelled Torino to the top of the table—far more than what was expected from this mid-table side. Empoli, on the other hand, only managed victories against Catanzaro in the Coppa Italia and a slow-starting Roma in Serie A. However, they secured draws against Monza, Bologna, and even Juventus. A 2-0 win over Cagliari, coupled with stumbles from several high-profile teams, allowed Empoli to unexpectedly sneak into the top 5. Last season, both teams won their home fixtures. Torino is in good form and playing at home. We recommend betting on Torino to win in this Coppa Italia clash.
Prediction for the match: Torino to win.
