Juventus vs Torino Prediction & Betting tips
The year has hardly begun, there is already a Turin derby at the door. Italian series champion Juventus Turin face city rivals Torino FC. The match on Wednesday is the quarter-finals of this year’s edition of Coppa Italia. Thus, there is a lot at stake in this game. Juventus won this competition last season. For the old lady to celebrate the cup victory again this year, a good performance is needed. Torino is playing a good season. Surely the outsider wants to put the favorite one leg. With a win, the semi-final would be realized. Whether Juventus Turin will prevail clearly remains questionable. The puzzle will be aired at 19:45. The match takes place at the Allianz Stadium, so Juventus have home advantage.
Juventus:
Juventus ended the year on a positive note. The last four games resulted in the maximum point. This momentum has corrected the bad start of the season. The old lady is currently in second place in the table with just one point behind the current leader from Naples. Unusual is certainly that the Turin had to admit two defeats. Particularly painful was the home defeat against Lazio. It was the first home defeat in over two years. In addition to the championship, the Turin are still represented on the European stage in 2018. In Group F, second place behind FC Barcelona was won thanks to just one defeat in the six group games. This Juventus had to stand against a real top team.
Juventus has the most powerful offense in the league. With 48 goals from 19 games, the Turin score an average of 2.5 times per game. Main responsibility for this value are the two Argentines in the ranks of Bianconeri. Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain have already met 23 times together. This is about half of all Juve goals. This offensive power will certainly be crucial in this cup match. So far, Juventus met only on Genoa in the Cup. For all other rounds, the reigning Italian champion had a bye. There is a lot at stake in this quarter-final. On the one hand it is a derby and on the other a cup game. A defeat is synonymous with a disaster. Because in Turin is a victory in the Derby mandatory. For this to happen, the favorite must keep a cool head in this heated mood and win the game confidently. But we expect Juventus to make an effort against Turin.
Torino:
Torino is currently in the midfield of Serie A – as every season. The Northern Italians are the average of the league. Just over one point per game, around one goal per game, one goal per match! The Turin are just the team of the draw. Already last season they were leaders in this category with 14 draws. Currently, they have drawn in ten of 19 games a draw! This results in the place exactly in the middle of the table – 10th place! Turin lost only four games. The defeats came against strong teams like Fiorentina, AS Roma or Juventus. The city rivals could decide the derby 4-0 in September. The fact is, everything in this game was for Juventus. Thus, another game may be expected in this cup game.
The last away defeat of Turin is already over two months back. Since then, especially the top clubs have been annoyed. Lazio was defeated 3-1 last. Also the second game in Rome against AS could be won 2-1. In this cup game before Christmas, the Turin surprised. Rome was the much better team and should have saved at least in extra time. In the 77th minute Dzeko also missed a penalty. The signs in the current Cup round are bad for Torino. However, the clear outsider will do everything in order to be victorious in this derby or to save at least in extra time.
