Juventus get their Coppa Italia campaign underway with a visit from Udinese in the Round of 16.

The Bianconeri have won their last two matches between Serie A and the Champions League, and are unbeaten across their last seven coming into their first Coppa Italia match of the season.

Udinese are coming in off the back of a 2-0 win over Parma in Serie A over the weekend, and have already beaten Carrarese and Palermo in the earlier rounds of the cup so far this season.

The Bianconeri are wihout Dusan Vlahovic, Gleison Bremer, Daniele Rugani and Mattia Perin, while Udinese have travelled without Thomas Kristensen and Hassane Kamara.

Kick-off is due at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).

Another moment of worry at the Allianz Stadium as Yildiz requires treatment, but he should be okay to continue. Koopmeiners standing over a corner, meanwhile.

Vintage Yildiz

Yildiz cuts in from the left flank and tests Sava with the first shot on target of the game. It’s saved, but a slight moment of worry for Kosta Runjaic’s side there.

Chiellini on Vlahovic

“The only thing that changes is that he won’t be able to play for three months or however long it is. I’m sorry for him, he’s a big loss, I wish him a speedy recovery. But, it’s a good opportunity for those who have had less chance to play,” Chiellini said about the injury to Vlahovic.

And in terms of Vlahovic’s expiring contract, Chiellini said: “We’ll talk in the coming months, but this injury doesn’t change the situation. For now, he just has to concentrate on getting better.”

Miretti: 'Always nice to win a trophy'

“We need to find continuity. Today’s match is important and it’s always nice to win a trophy, we have to try for that,” the Bianconeri midfielder told SportMediaset ahead of kick-off.

“We hope that we can win again tonight and also score a few goals, but that isn’t the priority. We have to be ready and progress.”

No Vlahovic this evening, or for the foreseeable

Vlahovic is Juve’s leading goalscorer across all competitions so far this season (six), but is expected to miss anywhere from three to five months with a high-grade tear in his adductor muscles. Kenan Yildiz and Jonathan David start against Udinese.
