Our prediction for this Serie A match:
There will be fireworks when Juventus and Torino go head to head at Allianz Stadium in the Turin derby. Juve did well to beat Udinese in their last league match, while sharing the spoils with Lille in the Champions League round 4. The Bianconeri are eager to climb to the Champions League berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Il Toro. Defender Danilo is back from the Champions League ban, while all Nico Gonzalez, Bremer, and Milik remain in the recovery room.
Torino, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to AS Roma and Fiorentina and given their difficulties in front of goal, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the local derby. Adding to their woes, important attackers Che Adams and Duvan Zapata are both sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
