Torino

Unfortunately, Torino coming to this Turin Derby with not so good shape at the moment. Last year they were at 7th place at the end of the season. At the season beginning the Bulls had a great opportunity to be among UEFA Europa League teams this season. Unfortunately, they were unlucky to face Wolves at the Final qualification round and failed to qualify to the Group stage of the second biggest European competition. They stand at 12th place in Serie A with only 11 points after 10 Rounds at the moment. Hosts failed to win in 5 last Serie A games, although they show really strong football more often than weak like in the match against Lazio, on 30th of October.

Juventus

From the other side of Turin Derby, we see Juventus, which is still among unbeaten teams in this season.

Even not showing impressive football, they are already at 1st place in Serie A and UEFA Champions League Group D. Right after Verona which conceded 8 goals so far in Serie A, Juventus shows second-best defense with 9 missed goals. Even showing strong results, and taking wins, they are struggling to win with big results even against weak opponents. We saw that almost during whole this season so far. La Vecchia Signora playing only against SPAL and Bayer Leverkusen Bianconeri won with bigger than 1 goal difference.

During the last match, Juve scored the winning goal only at 96th minutes by penalty, even playing against Genoa with 2 red cards. Previously, they failed to win over the Lecce, finishing the game with 1:1 draw. Earlier, they played two games at Allianz Arena with equal 2:1 results against not strongest teams Lokomotiv Moscow and Bologna. So their latest results show troubles in finishing dangerous moments.
