Roma coach Rudi Garcia is out for revenge against Juventus in Rome in today’s Coppa Italia quarter-final.

The last time both sides met earlier this month in Serie A, Juve crushed Roma 3-0 in Turin to inflict the Giallorossi’s first loss of the campaign.

However, Garcia has warned the league leaders to expect a bigger battle in the Eternal City.

“This game is for a place in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia,” Garcia said.

“It’s a different game altogether with respect to our Serie A match in Turin, because in the league we still have many matches left to play, while tomorrow (today) it’s a do-or-die game.

“Only one team will progress and we will have to do all that we can to make sure that team is Roma.”

The Giallorossi go into the encounter on the back of Saturday’s 3-0 triumph over Livorno.

Juve beat Sampdoria 4-2 to go eight points clear of second-place Roma at the top of the standings.

Antonio Conte’s men are riding a 12-match winning run in the league and have struck 34 goals, conceding just four in that impressive run.

And defender Leonardo Bonucci has warned Roma they have no intention to slow down.

He said: “The game against Roma is like a final. We will go there determined to win.”

Quarter-Finals:Today – 20.45 Roma vs Juventus. Tomorrow – 21.00 Milan vs Udinese. Thursday – 21.00 Fiorentina vs Siena. January 29 – 20.45 Napoli vs Lazio.
