Juventus take on the visitors Torino in the round 12 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, November 9th at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus is still finding its form. The Old Lady struggled for several years, but last season, Juventus climbed back to the top, mostly due to strong results: third place in Serie A (behind only Milan and Inter) and a Coppa Italia victory. However, in 2024, a series of scandals and poor performances led to a significant overhaul over the summer. Allegri was dismissed before the season ended, and the roster saw major changes. Under new manager Thiago Motta, Juventus has been inconsistent. They returned to the Champions League with big wins over PSV and RB Leipzig, scoring three goals in each game, but then fell 0-1 at home to Stuttgart. In Serie A, their new goalkeeper De Gregorio was nearly impenetrable, though Juventus sometimes lacked offensive output. October brought high-scoring draws, 4-4 against both Inter and even Parma. They managed a win over Udinese in their last league match, but then settled for a 1-1 draw with Lille in the Champions League.

Torino has ambition and quickly climbed to the top half of the table under Juric, though he struggled to secure European qualification, finishing 9th last season. Over the summer, Torino appointed Paolo Vanoli, who had just guided Venezia to Serie A via the playoffs. With Vanoli, Torino started well, winning their Coppa Italia opener and earning 11 points in their first five league matches. A loss to Empoli in the Coppa seemed like they were shedding extra commitments, but defeats followed in Serie A against Lazio, Inter, Cagliari, and a struggling Roma, interrupted only by a 1-0 win over Como. In their last match, a single goal by Fiorentina’s Kean was enough to defeat Torino.
Historically, this derby hasn’t seen much competition; in recent decades, Torino has managed only a few wins. Last spring, after three consecutive losses, they at least held Juventus to a 0-0 draw. This is a game where Juventus should secure the win. Consider a bet with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win with -1.0 handicap.
