After scoring twice for Fiorentina in the 2-1 win over Juventus in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal, Egypt international winger Mohamed Salah is expected to repeat his superb performance when the two sides play the second leg on Tuesday.

Salah maintained his blistering start at Fiorentina by scoring two crucial goals at Juventus in the first leg in March.

The 22-year-old winger took his tally to seven goals in 12 appearances with Fiorentina in all competitions since joining the Italian giants last January. He has four goals in Serie A, one in the Europa League, and two in the Italian Cup.

Salah joined Fiorentina on loan from English Premier League leaders Chelsea last month until the end of the season after failing to book a regular place in the Blues' squad under coach Jose Mourinho.

Juventus are top of the table with 70 points, while Fiorentina are fourth with 49 points.

The Old Lady is expected to be tough test for Fiorentina in the second leg of Coppa Italia on Tuesday despite the first leg result.
