PREVIOUS ENCOUNTERS AT THE DALL’ARA

Bologna have never won a match on home turf against Juventus in the Coppa Italia, registering four draws and two defeats (either in normal or extra time) and scoring just one goal. Their last home win over Juventus in all competitions dates back to November 1998, when they emerged 3-0 winners in a Serie A encounter.

ANASTASI SCORES HAT-TRICK IN BIGGEST JUVE WIN

Juventus’ heaviest win over Bologna dates back to May 1975, when they travelled to the Dall’Ara and notched up five goals. Pietro Anastasi bagged a hat-trick, with the scoring completed by a Fernando Viola effort and an own-goal. The goals can be seen in reproductions of Hurrà Juventus from the time.

LAST AWAY TRIP IN THE COPPA ITALIA

The last time Juve travelled to Bologna for a Coppa Italia tie was back in 1999. The only goal of the game was scored by Edgar Davids (below), who fired home a thunderous strike, but it was not enough to advance to the next round, with the Bianconeri having lost the first leg 2-1 at the Delle Alpi.
