Italy, Spain, Canada and the U.S. were the seeded nations after winning their groups last week, when the qualifying competition was played in four different cities.
The winner of the Italy-Argentina tie will meet the U.S. or Australia in the semifinals. The winner of Germany-Canada will take on the Dutch or Spain.
Italy won its first Davis Cup titles since 1976 by beating Australia in last year's final, which also took place in Malaga.
