Torino vs Juventus Prediction & Betting tips
The months to harvest are coming and that is why it is important for a team like Juventus to continue to perform now. The champion candidate plays the derby of Turin against Torino on Sunday-afternoon.
Torino :
Torino can be proud of the numbers after 24 rounds in Serie A. The team of coach Walter Mazzarri is in ninth place, but the gap with the top six is only five points. What is more striking is that the club from Turin is extremely difficult to beat. Torino has only booked four losses so far and that is an impressive low number. Only Juventus, Internazionale and Napoli booked fewer defeats. Torino played twelve times already and that is by far the highest number of all teams in the Serie A. Mazzarri’s team owes it to this number that it is now ninth and not in the top five. Work at the store, but with the current form it is actually pretty good. Torino recorded the last loss about two months ago and after that loss against Napoli, the team scored four draws and three victories. At the beginning of January, Torino lost in the Coppa Italia and at that time Juventus was the opponent.
Last week Torino managed to deal with a direct competitor for the time being. Udinese came to visit Turin and that offered the hosts the opportunity to distribute a sensitive tap. The formation of Mazzarri produced a solid match in which he scored once before and after the break. These two goals proved to be more than enough to keep the three points in-house: 2-0. It was the fifth home win of the season.
For Torino it was good news that Andrea Belotti managed to find the net again. The attack leader recently had to deal with an injury, but against Udinese he was back again and made his fifth goal of the season. The supporters of Torino now hope that Belotti will take the team back in the attacking way. The Italian attacker made 26 goals last season and therefore the five goals of this year are a bit disappointing.
Mazzarri can use his best potential for the match against Juventus. The result of last week was good and that is why the coach has no reasons to make surprising changes. He does not have to take into account suspensions and injuries and therefore Torino will kick off in the best possible position.
Juventus :
Juventus is still competing on three fronts for the prizes and as a result the races are now following each other in quick succession. The current form in the Serie A is spectacular. The Old Lady can show dizzying figures. The team of trainer Massimiliano Allegri left only two points in the last eleven league matches and even more impressive is the fact that Juventus managed to keep the zero in ten of the last eleven matches. Hellas Verona was the only opponent who managed to find the net, but that was almost two months ago. In the last league game, Juventus once again showed that defending is an art. In the away match against Fiorentina, the formation from Turin struck after halftime. Filippo Bernardeschi opened the score and towards the end of the game another goal from Gonzalo Higuain was added.
The Italians also worked with mountain confidence to the Champions League game against Tottenham Hotspur. Juventus had the home advantage and therefore the hosts were favorite to win the game. The start was impressive as already after nine minutes a 2-0 score was on the board by two goals from Higuain. Juventus seemed to be heading for an easy win, especially considering the defensive qualities, but Tottenham Hotspur somehow succeeded in getting the score right again. Harry Kane scored for the break and after the tea it was Christian Eriksen who put the 2-2 final score on the board with his goal in the 71st minute.
The question now is which eleven players are going to conquer Allegri Torino. The Italian coach will like to rotate when the schedule is heavy and therefore it seems impossible that he will start with an unchanged team. Positive news is also that Paulo Dybala is back in the running to play minutes. The Argentinian international was sidelined for a month due to a hamstring injury. Dybala now returns to the selection of the competition, but it is in line with expectations that he will start on the bench.
