Juventus vs Torino prediction, preview, team news and more

The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this week as Juventus take on Torino on Friday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.

Torino are in 10th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best this year. The away side slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Venezia last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Juventus, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have recovered from a poor start to their campaign. The Bianconeri were held to a 1-1 draw by Atalanta in their previous game and will want to take it up a notch this weekend.

Juventus vs Torino Head-to-Head

Juventus have an excellent record in the Derby della Mole and have won 92 out of 205 matches played between the two teams. Torino have managed 56 victories against Juventus and will need to cut the deficit on Friday.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in October last year and ended in a 1-0 victory for Juventus. Torino were wasteful on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
