The draw for the Coppa Italia round of 16 has taken place, as the top eight Serie A sides entering the competition, with league leaders Juventus facing a trip to struggling Bologna as they endeavour to win the prestigious trophy for the fifth consecutive year. 

Juve made history when they became the only side in the history of the competition to win it four years on the bounce against Milan in May, and are looking to extend their unprecedented run of domestic dominance even further by winning the 2018/19 trophy.

Elsewhere, last year's beaten finalists Milan will travel to Sampdoria, who overcame SPAL in the fourth round in one of five all-Serie A clashes, while Napoli host Sassuolo.
