On Friday night, Juventus and Torino go head-to-head at the Allianz Stadium, in a potentially massive Turin derby for the home team’s chances of making a late charge for the Serie A title.

JUVENTUS

The Bianconeri have hit form in recent weeks in Serie A, leading to some believing that they can still win the Scudetto this season. However, Max Allegri’s team are in fourth place in the table, nine points behind leaders Milan.

The team from Turin also needed a last-gasp equaliser from Danilo to earn a 1-1 draw at Atalanta last time out. The goal kept Juventus two points above the boys from Bergamo. The result also means that the Bianconeri are unbeaten in 11 matches in the Italian top-flight.

They also have a strong recent home record in Serie A, as they are unbeaten in five matches at the Allianz Stadium, having recorded four wins and a draw.

Torino

The Granata have fallen off the pace in the race for a European place, as Ivan Juric’s team are now ten points adrift of the top-six after a three-game winless run in Serie A. A 2-1 home reverse against Venezia last time out also means that the visitors have suffered back-to-back league defeats.

Torino have a poor recent away record in the Italian top-flight, as they have lost six of their previous eight league matches on their travels, recording just one win in the process.

The visitors have also lost nine of the last 11 meetings with their neighbours in all competitions. Their last win over the Bianconeri was back in 2015.
