The Coppa Italia's Round of 64 brings Torino and Carrarese together, with a place in the next round at stake. CheckLive's numbers favour Torino with a 79% win probability, and that signal is a strong one, but this is a single knock-out tie where a draw is a real possible outcome. Both sides will be stepping up for what could be a tight cup occasion.
Torino come into this on the back of four wins in five pre-season friendlies, beating Avellino 2-1, Vado 3-1, Burnley 1-0 and Alcione Milano 1-0, with the only defeat a 0-1 reverse away to Cittadella. Carrarese's recent form is more uneven: they beat Virtus Entella 1-0 in a friendly but lost to Napoli 0-2 and Frosinone 0-3, drew 0-0 with Cesena, and fell 1-2 to Virtus Entella in Serie B.
There is no head-to-head history between these two in the facts, so this is something of a leap into the unknown. The key thing to watch is whether Carrarese, who have struggled for results in Serie B, can handle a Torino side that has looked sharp in pre-season. A draw after ninety minutes would not be a surprise in a cup tie like this.
