In a round of Coppa Italia, Juventus will meet Catania at home.
Both teams have met for the last time in 2009 when Catania won here with 2:1. In the total of 4 games at home against Catania, Juventus’ record reads W1 D2 L1.
The Bianconeri are currently 6th with 31 points in 19 games, record of W8 D7 L4. The team has already been knocked out of Europa League, and seems far away (9 points) from the first spot to win the title this year, so this cup might be the only thing they can go for. Together with Roma, Juventus had won this tournament 9 times.
Juventus has kept only one clean sheet this season at home, in the game against Lecce on October 17th 2010. Catania hasn’t kept a clean sheet away from home this season. The team is taking the 16th spot with 21 points in 19 games, record of W5 D6 L8.

The previous meeting here for the Coppa Italia ended 3:0 in favor of Juventus. The rounds is only one leg, and usually Coppa Italia is famous for the low attendance on the average of 1000 people. A lot of the teams go out with reserve squads which leads to unpredictable results.
Personally I think looking for a surprise here will be logical after Juventus failed against Parma with 1:4. The bet “Draw or Catania to win” is priced at 2.60 covering 66% of the outcome. The odds for the home victory are barely worth it at 1.40.
What sticks out in the games between both teams is that they always manage to score at least a goal on each other. The odds are good enough and the success rate on that bet in the past 6 games has been 5 out of 6.
