Zbigniew Boniek has mused that Roma and Juventus are equal favourites for tomorrow’s night Coppa Italia clash.
The League’s top two teams face off in the quarter-finals of the knockout competition on Tuesday evening and have their former Polish midfielder split between loyalties.
“Both teams value the Cup – compared to the past it is becoming a prestigious objective, credit must go to those who have changed its format,” Boniek began to Anch’io Sport this week.
“This will be a great match. If they had been playing in Turin, then I would have said that Juventus were definitely favourites.
“But, in Rome, the teams will be closer to 50-50. Conte will, as always, make changes for the Cup, while Roma have rested some players just for tomorrow.
“The game counts more for Roma, because Juventus are favourites in the League, whilst in general the two teams are equal.
“Juventus has a lot more aggression, they play very high and take away the opportunity to think for their opponents.
“In addition, they have strikers that no-one has in Serie A, so… The aggression that Conte transmits is unique.
“Roma cannot possibly do more than they have already, whilst the Bianconeri are doing something impressive.”
