Torino v Juventus

Torino vs Juventus Preview

Torino gained another point in the Italian domestic top flight last weekend when the hosts shared a point apiece in a 0-0 stalemate at home with Parma which became the hosts' second stalemate on the trot in Serie A but nevertheless, Paulo Vanoli's side have lifted themselves up into 11th place in the Serie A table as a result.

Juventus were also involved in a draw in last weekend's action in the Italian top flight as the Old Lady drew 2-2 at home with Fiorentina and they too moved up the Serie A table and into fifth place in the standings along with continuing to preserve their unbeaten start to this season.

That point gained at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino became a fourth stalemate in seven games overall in Serie A for Torino who had previously drawn with Monza 1-1, Genoa 0-0 and Udinese 2-2 respectively.

However, the prospects of a home win here on Saturday evening look distinctly remote as Torino have found league wins hard to come by in recent times having managed to capture just two wins from their last 14 matches overall in Serie A.

Rare victories against Como and Empoli, both by 1-0 margins, have been overshadowed by slipping to eight defeats but the goals market (or rather, lack of goals) looks promising for this upcoming fixture as nine out of Torino's last 10 games have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Juventus's impressive but stubborn looking unbeaten start to this season's Serie A campaign continued last weekend with a 2-2 draw at home with Fiorentina, making it five stalemates in their last six matches overall in the Italian top flight.

A 2-1 win away from home at Monza has been complemented by points picked up in draws with the likes of AC Milan, Lecce, Bologna and Venezia as well as the aforementioned Fiorentina, but if nothing else, Juventus manager, Thiago Motta, has moulded his side into a tough unit to beat so far in this campaign.

The visitors have picked up a total of seven wins to date this season but they have also emerged as something of the ‘draw specialists' in this season's Serie A campaign as they have also been involved in no fewer than 11 draws within their 18 matches played to date.

Four out of Juventus's eight away games so far this season have also produced low-scoring games, resulting in Under 2.5 goals, so the goals market could be a good option for this upcoming encounter.

Torino v Juventus Verdict

Previous exchanges between Torino and Juventus have usually produced low-scoring encounters as six out of the last seven meetings between these two clubs have resulted in Under 2.5 goals and this trend could continue on Saturday.
