Fiorentina and Juventus square off in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals as both sides eye a first-leg advantage this Wednesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Juventus are way ahead on the head-to-head side of things with 13 victories compared to Fiorentina's three in the last 20 meetings between both sides.

Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards

It has been quite a run in the Italian cup for I Viola who has had to play a total of four games en route to the semifinals. Beating Cosenza and Benevento is what was expected of a club of their stature, however, mouth-watering games against Napoli and Atalanta which ended in wins for them is quite an achievement and it is then left to see whether they can use this as a platform to go all the way in this competition for the first time since 2001. The quarterfinals victory against Le Dea did set the platform for back-to-back wins in the league, however, they were most recently downed by Sassuolo. Nonetheless, cup football is on the agenda this time around and they haven't disappointed since.

Having already represented Fiorentina in this competition this season, Serbia international Dusan Vlahovic would be eligible to play for the Old Lady this Wednesday. He has been instrumental since his move to Turin, netting a total of four goals as Juventus head to Florence unbeaten in their last nine games. The Bianconeri's 3-2 win against Empoli last time out means they still have an outside chance of returning to the pinnacle of Italian football with seven points now separating them from Napoli who are at the summit of the standings. Defending their Coppa Italian crown would be the main aim this Wednesday, however, as they seek a first-leg advantage in Florence.
