After Sampdoria ended Torino’s hopes of progressing through to the Coppa Italia Round of 16 stage with a narrow 2-1 victory, the full list has been revealed as to who will encounter each other this time around.
Il Doria’s result came after Serie B side Lecce ousted Serie A newcomers Spezia by a 2-0 scoreline at the Stadio Picco. The Lupi are the only outfit from the second division to have progressed to the last 16 phase, where they are poised to take on Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
