Serie B continues to be represented in the Coppa Italia with three teams that have already earned their place in the round of 16 and two more on the pitch today to try to increase the weight of the second series in the national cup. Brescia and Palermo will try to advance further with the Swallows who have the easiest task on paper going to challenge a Monza that has not started very well in the championship. For the Sicilian pink and black instead there is a difficult challenge like the one against Napoli at the Maradona.
Yesterday evening, Cesena and especially Sampdoria joined Sassuolo – who had eliminated Lecce. The Romagnoli beat Pisa in an all-cadet clash, while the Blucerchiati accomplished a feat by winning the derby with Genoa on penalties.
