Roma will host Torino this Wednesday at the Stadio Olímpico in the Italian capital, in one of the most interesting matches of the knockout round of the Italian Cup. The Romans are going through a good time in the league and Champions League and hope to take it to the Cup, which is one of the objectives for the season, although next weekend’s match with Juve can condition the performance in this duel. While, the Torino, is one of the good teams of Serie A, and after three years being eliminated in this phase of the competition, hopes to surprise, knowing that the Cup can be a good bet if they want to be in European competitions of the next year.

AS Roma comes to this match after, on Saturday, having defeated Cagliari (1-0), in a complicated game for the wolf, who reached the goal, for Fazio, in the discounts. Even so, this victory meant the fifth consecutive game without losing for those led by Eusebio Di Francesco, who remain in fourth place in the table, two points behind Inter, three from Juve and four from Napoli, with one game less. In Champions, the Romans surprised and qualified in the first place of a group with Chelsea and Atlético de Madrid. Suman, in the total of all competitions, 15 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, with 37 goals scored and 16 received, taking Edin Dzeko, with 11 goals, his top scorer. For this game, Di Francesco will not be able to count on Karsdorp and Defrel injured and will have to do some rotations in the eleven, thinking about the duel next Saturday, with Juventus. Thus, Skorupski, Jesus, Strootman, Gonalons and El Shaarawy should be news in the alienation of the Italian coach.

Eleven Probable: Skorupski – Peres, Jesus, Manolas, Kolarov – Strootman, Nainggolan, Gonalons – El Shaarawy, Perotti, Dzeko.

Torino travels to the capital after being defeated, at home, by Napoli (1-3), in the last weekend, in a match in which at half an hour already had a disadvantage of three goals. The Turin team thus adds only two victories in the last 7 games and fell to tenth in the Serie A, four points behind the European spots and 9 in the relegation zone. In Cup, they already made two eliminatory, leaving on the way to Trapani and Carpi. Joining the two competitions, those led by Sinisa Mihajlovic have 7 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats, with 32 goals scored and 26 received, with Iago Falqué his top scorer, with 5 goals. Belotti, a player who stood out last season, has only 4 goals so far this season. Ansaldi, injured, is the only casualty for the match and like Di Francesco, Mihajlovic must make some changes in the eleven. Ichazo, Ljajic and Niang will be the novelties in eleven for the birth of this Wednesday.

Eleven Probable: Ichazo – De Silvestri, Burdisso, N’Koulou, Molinaro – Valdifiori, Rincon, Ljajic – Falqué, Niang, Belotti.

This is one of the most interesting matches of these eighth-finals of the Italian Cup and the locals have to be considered favorites. The Romans are going through a very good time and face a team that, despite having quality, has been showing difficulties in recent weeks. The rotations are a factor that can influence the forecasts for this duel, but even so, Roma must win, with more or less difficulty.
