Doria had said goodbye to the Italian Cup in seven of their previous nine campaigns precisely at the 1/8 stage.

By the way, in the 2015/16 season, the Blue-circled lost to the Devils with the same score in this round, but the meeting ended in regulation time. Last year, the Genoese were already in deep crisis, so the trip to Turin to Juventus did not portend a positive result, 1-4. Watch the game Fiorentina - Sampdoria online.
