Torino vs Juventus Prediction

🔊 What should we expect from the upcoming Turin derby at the “Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino”? Juventus is definitely not in their best form. In the previous 10 matches, the team secured only 3 victories, and last weekend they suffered an unexpected defeat to Milan in the Italian Super Cup (1-2). Torino, who have recently struggled to even draw in head-to-head meetings with the "Old Lady," clearly wants to take advantage of the situation and earn points. We recommend checking out our prediction before placing a bet on the 20th round Serie A game.

📊 Head-to-Head

The Turin derby is when two teams play, and Juventus wins. It's hard to argue with this thesis, considering that in a stretch of 37 matches, Torino won only once (in 2015). The "Old Lady" has 27 victories to their name. In the encounter that took place in the first round, Thiago Motta's team did not face significant problems and won with a score of 2-0.

🐂 Torino

Torino continues to earn points in every match. However, in most cases, the team has to settle for a draw. The game against Parma on January 5 was no exception. For 90 minutes, neither side managed to score (0-0). Although the "Bulls" could have snatched a victory, Torino repeatedly found themselves in the penalty area of the "Crusaders," but the players consistently lacked composure and quick decision-making. A telling episode involved Nikola Vlasic, who hesitated when he had a chance for a winning goal, allowing defenders to block his shot in the final minutes. Overall, eleventh place in the standings is a decent result for Paolo Vanoli's team, but they should avoid dropping points in the near future. Regarding the upcoming clash, several players, including Duvan Zapata, will be unavailable.

⚫ Juventus

This season, Juventus has suffered only two defeats - 0-1 against Stuttgart in the Champions League and 1-2 against Milan in the Italian Super Cup semi-final. The team remains unbeaten in Serie A, but their position in the standings is not encouraging. Due to numerous draws, the "Old Lady" is only in fifth place. As for the game against the "Rossoneri," Thiago Motta's team unexpectedly played poorly in defense. In just 5 minutes, they conceded an unnecessary penalty and scored a ridiculous own goal. It will be interesting to see if the Italian specialist can hold on until the end of the season. Considering the results, there are significant doubts about it. Regarding the upcoming clash, Juventus will be without 6 players, including Manuel Locatelli (suspension due to yellow cards).

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Juventus has transformed from a team with rare high-scoring games into one whose matches often feature plenty of goals. In 6 of their last 7 matches, at least 3 goals were scored involving the "Old Lady." Given the tendency for unpredictable scenarios in Turin derbies, a bet on total over 1.5 goals seems justified. Moreover, the game that took place in the first round ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of the "Old Lady."

🚩 Corner Prediction

Despite earning 8 corners in their last game against Parma, Torino remains among the worst teams in Serie A for this statistical indicator. With an average total of 4.0 corners, the "Bulls" are in fifteenth place. We have no doubt that in the upcoming clash, Paolo Vanoli's team will choose a defensive style of football as their main plan, so we should not expect many dangerous moments at Juventus' goal. In such a situation, our betting option will be total corners for Torino under 4.5.

📝 Editorial Prediction

According to bookmakers, Thiago Motta's team are clear favorites for the upcoming clash. Despite the "Old Lady" frequently drawing games, our key betting option will be a win for Juventus. Firstly, in the Turin derby, Torino traditionally performs poorly. In almost every match, regardless of current form, Juventus achieves a favorable result. Secondly, the "Bulls" play much worse at home than away - only 9 points in 9 home matches, with worse figures only for Empoli (7), Genoa (6), and Monza (3). It seems that additional pressure from their fans affects them too much. Therefore, by the end of 90 minutes, we expect to see a scoreline of 1-2 on the scoreboard.
