Torino vs Juventus Preview
Torino
The home team will be hoping to snap a three-game winless sequence in Serie A when they return to action on Saturday. It’s been a stop-start campaign for Torino, leaving them at eleventh in the overall standings. However, they’re still comfortably clear of the relegation places.
Scoring goals has proven to be a major issue for the Italian side throughout the campaign, as they’ve scored just 13 times from open play from an xG of 15.47. Despite this, Torino have been efficient from corners, scoring four goals from an xG of 2.63.

The defensive 3-5-2 formation will once again be deployed against an Italian heavyweight this weekend. The team’s defensive record in this system should give them confidence after conceding 21 goals from open play and an xGA of 24.84.
Torino will be without key stars at both ends of the field. Forwards Duván Zapata and Pietro Pellegri will be missed, and defender Saba Sazonov will also be ruled out.
Juventus
Against all odds, Thiago Motta’s Juventus remain unbeaten in Serie A as we approach the halfway mark. They’ve been held to a league-high eleven draws in 18 matches this term. Ties have been evident across their last five after four games across that period.
A return to winning ways on Saturday would see the Old Lady close the gap on the Champions League spots.

Defensively, Juventus have been excellent throughout this season, conceding just nine goals from an xGA of 9.01 from open play. Their attacking record is also decent, scoring 23 goals from an xG of 23.34. However, more will be needed from the attacking players in a 4-3-3 system, as they’ve registered just 23 shots on goal.
Juventus will be without the influential Manuel Locatelli on Saturday due to suspension. Bremer and Juan Cabal are out for the remainder of the season.

Juventus have typically struggled in the final third throughout the season when creating clear scoring opportunities. That could be evident against a Torino side operating with a low-block this weekend.
Furthermore, it could be worth noting that two of the last six meetings between the clubs have ended in draws.
Torino vs Juventus Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.54 (22Bet)
Under 2.5 goals has been a winning football prediction in each of the last three meetings between Torino and Juventus. That could be an angle worth following once again. The hosts will be without their two key strikers, while the opposition boasts an excellent defensive record, especially in away matches played.
Alternatively, over 3.5 cards looks to be a solid angle. Torino averaged 2.16 yellows per game in Serie A this term. Juventus averaged 1.89 cards per 90 in Italy.
