Juventus take to the field for the first time in this season's Coppa Italia this evening against Monza.
It is the second meeting of the season between the two sides and only the second time Juve host Monza at home in the cup. So far, the Bianconeri are unbeaten in the four previous clashes in the Italian Cup.
Read on for more curiosities and statistics ahead of the 21:00 CET kick-off.
CLEARING THE FIRST HURDLE - Juventus are the team that has reached the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia for the most consecutive seasons, having gone beyond the Round of 16 in all the most recent 15 years.
HOME RECORD - Juve are unbeaten in 17 home games in the Coppa Italia, thanks to 15 wins and two draws - the club's longest unbeaten home streak in the competition. The last home defeat dates back to the semi-final first leg on 5 March 2015 against Fiorentina.
CHIESA IN THE CUP - Starting from season 2018/19 Federico Chiesa has scored nine goals in the Italian Cup, over the same period only Krzysztof Piatek with 12 has done better in the tournament among current Serie A players.
ANGEL TAKING AIM - After his goal against Napoli, Ángel Di María could be involved in goals in back-to-back appearances in the shirt of Juventus since joining the club in the summer. The last time he succeeded was with Paris Saint-Germain last May (three, against Troyes, Montpellier and Metz).
TWO FROM TWO - Following wins against Frosinone and Udinese in August and October, Monza could win three games in a row in the Coppa Italia for the first time since 1988, when they overcame Roma, Empoli and Prato.
