Juventus Prediction

Juventus sit top of Serie A and hold an unassailable 18-point margin over 2nd placed Napoli as they prepare for this local derby with Torino, and the hosts will be keen to maintain their dominance over their cross-city rivals here.

Juventus have won 6 of their last 7 encounters against Torino and will therefore be eager to continue this trend in tonight’s tussle. The hosts have lost just twice all season in the Italian Serie A which, incidentally, both losses being inflicted upon them away from home with losses at Genoa and SPAL respectively.

However, Juventus continue to reign supreme on home turf where they’ve posted a record of 15-2-0 37/11 to date this term and includes winning their last five at home on the trot with wins against Frosinone, Udinese, Empoli, AC Milan and Fiorentina.

In addition, Juventus have kept 8 clean sheets on home turf in this campaign as the hosts have combined solid defence with a devastating attack, one which has scored 2 goals or more in 13 of their 17 home matches so far this season.

 

Key-Facts – Juventus v Torino

  • Juventus have won their last 5 home matches on the trot in Serie A
  • Juventus have won 6 of their last 7 encounters against Torino
  • Torino have failed to score in 6 away matches so far this season

 

Torino Prediction

Torino sit in 7th place and hover just outside the European qualifying places as they sit level on points with 6th placed AC Milan who occupy the Europa League qualifier spot, but a greater prize is still within Torino’s grasp prior to this important local derby.

The visitors are just three points adrift of 4th placed Atalanta who occupy the last automatic Champions League spot, so not only three points and bragging rights are up for grabs in this clash.

Torino bring a solid looking six-match unbeaten sequence into this clash having secured wins against Sampdoria, Genoa and AC Milan, along with three draws against Fiorentina, Parma and Cagliari.

The visitors have also lost the least number of matches away from home in the Italian top flight with just one defeat to their name throughout their travels in this campaign – that being a 3-2 loss away at 5th placed Roma.

An away record of 4-12-1 18/13 has seen a high prevalence of draws on the road for Torino who seem to have struggled to find the cutting edge up front to convert one point into three as goals have been hard to come by for the visitors on the road this term.

Torino have failed to score in 6 away matches so far this season and they’ll be up against the Serie A league leaders in their own backyard on Friday night who also possess the second best defensive record at home in the division so far this season – Inter Milan (9 goals) are the only side to better Juventus in the defensive department at home.

Betting Tips Verdict

Juventus have held the upper hand for some time against Torino and the visitors may find the going tough again here as goals have been a problem for the away side.
