Torino-Juventus is a match valid for the 20th day of Serie A and is played on Saturday at 6 p.m.: statistics, news, likely lineups, prediction, live TV, streaming.
Juventus’ difficult moment continues, with the Bianconeri opening the new year just as they ended the old one. Even in the Italian Super Cup, Thiago Motta’s team suffered a comeback, the second in a row after the one in the league match with Fiorentina. But if with the Viola Locatelli and his teammates had brought home at least a point (2-2), in Saudi Arabia the defeat to Milan (1-2) prevented Juve from qualifying for the last act of the mini-tournament.
A clear sign that the critical issues of the first part of the season have not yet been overcome: from the choices of the Italo-Brazilian coach, which have not exactly convinced everyone, to a lack of personality that is starting to worry and is one of the main causes, inevitably, of the problems in match management. A bit as if Juventus, until then almost perfect, suddenly lost its compass and became more fragile. In any case, archiving the Riyadh rout becomes a categorical imperative and the Bianconeri will have the opportunity to do so in an always delicate match like the derby della Mole, which returns exactly two months later (the first leg was won 2-0 by the Old Lady).
Particular moment also for the granata cousins, coming off two draws in a row (2-2 with Udinese and 0-0 with Parma) that did not help to make the atmosphere less heavy. Since November, Torino has beaten Empoli exclusively and, although 11th, has to watch its back, since the relegation zone is not that far away (third-last has 4 points less). Fifth place, on the other hand, for Juventus – with a match to make up – which as of today would be out of the Champions League.
Torino-Juventus: latest lineup news
Vanoli, granata coach, is anxious about Ricci: the director was forced out early against Parma with a muscle problem and could forfeit against Juve. Should he fail to make it, Vlasic, Linetty and Gineitis will play in midfield, with Pedersen and Sosa on the flanks. Up front Karamoh will again be preferred to Adams.
On the other side, Motta will have to do without one of his best players, captain Locatelli, who is disqualified. Vlahovic and Conceicao are out with injuries and join Bremer, Cabal and Milik. Starters Yildiz and Nico Gonzalez, possible chance for Mbangula.

The Prediction
Paradoxically, Juventus is the only remaining unbeaten team in Serie A – no losses in the first leg – but it is paying for too many draws (as many as 11). The last precedents with Torino have held no surprises, with the granata never managing to get the better of their city rivals in the last 21 derbies (5 draws and 21 defeats for Toro). A trend that should continue despite the non-easy moment of Motta’s men, who will most likely come out of the Olimpico with a positive result. Juventus, after three matches in which they always conceded at least one goal, could return to a clean sheet by taking advantage of Torino’s now endemic difficulties in the scoring phase.
The probable formations of Torino-Juventus
TORINO (3-5-2): Milinkovic-Savic; Vojvoda, Coco, Masina; Pedersen, Vlasic, Linetty, Gineitis, Sosa; Karamoh, Sanabria.
JUVENTUS (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; McKennie, Thuram; Mbangula, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Nico Gonzalez.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 0-1
