In the Round of 64 of the Coppa Italia, a match between Empoli and Catanzaro will take place at Stadio Carlo Castellani. Since the early 2000s, the opponents have only met once in Serie B during the 2004/05 season. Twenty years ago, the hosts won on their home field, 2-0. In 2024, the Azzurri suffered only three defeats in official matches. These were national championship games against AC Milan (0-3), Cagliari (0-1), and Bologna (0-1). The Southern Eagles lost twice in their previous nine away games — against Ternana in the second division (0-1) and Cremonese in the promotion playoff semifinals (1-4).

The Tuscans made their debut in the tournament in 1935. Since the early 2000s, the Blues have been eliminated at this stage six times. In the 2010/11 and 2013/14 seasons, the Azzurri lost to Fiorentina (0-1, after extra time) and Chievo (0-2). In the 2015/16 and 2022/23 campaigns, the team from the eponymous city suffered defeats against Vicenza (0-1) and SPAL (1-2, after extra time). In the 2018/19 and 2023/24 editions, the team were knocked out by Cittadella (0-3 and 1-2). Additionally, Empoli were eliminated in the Round of 64 four times in a row from 1990 to 1993 by Lecce (0-0, 0-0, 4-5 on penalties), twice by Bari (0-0, 1-1, and 1-2), and Fiorentina (0-2).

Catanzaro first participated in the Coppa Italia in the 1935/36 season, but due to their frequent presence in lower leagues, the Southern Eagles rarely compete in the tournament. Last year, the Giallorossi were eliminated at the same stage by Udinese, 1-4. In the 1966/67 season, the Giallorossi were unable to progress past Foggia (1-3). The year before, the club from Calabria defeated Messina, 2-0. In the 1964/65 campaign, the "Queen" managed to lose to Palermo in the Round of 64 despite having a three-goal lead, 3-4, after extra time.
