Torino - Juventus predictions and free betting tips [13/04/2024]

On Saturday, 13th April, within the frameworks of the 32nd round of the Italian Serie A, "Torino" will host "Juventus" on their field. Last weekend, the "Bulls" broke their unbeaten streak of four matches, whereas the "Bianconeri" achieved a minimal victory over "Fiorentina" (1-0).

Projected Squad

“Torino”: Milinkovic-Savic; Tameze, Buongiorno, Rodriguez; Bellanova, Linetty, Ricci, Lazaro; Vlasic; Sanabria, Zapata.
“Juventus”: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic.   

Stadium

The match will be held in Turin at the Olympic Stadium.

"Torino"

Currently in ninth place in the Serie A standings and four points behind seventh-placed "Napoli", "Torino" can still hope to finish in the Eurocup zone. However, in the last round, Ivan Juric's wards missed a great opportunity to reduce the gap from the "Partenopei", unexpectedly losing with a score of 3:2 to the sinking "Empoli". This defeat ended a series of 4 unbeaten matches (2 wins and 2 draws): Duvan Zapata equalised the score in the 91st minute of the match, but three minutes later Niang secured a victory for the white and blues with a precise strike.

Thanks to "Torino" losing only twice at home during the current national campaign, the "Bulls" occupy the eighth place in the overall standings by the number of points scored at home (27 in 15 matches). What further delights the fans is the excellent synergy of their favourites in defence: only 8 goals conceded at the Olimpico – the best home record in Serie A (along with Inter, Milan and Bologna). 

"Juventus"

Longtime rival of "Inter" for the Scudetto this season, "Juventus" slowed down already by winter. Currently, the "Old Lady" is comfortably positioned in 3rd place in the Serie A league table, leading the fifth-placed "Roma" by 7 points. Qualification for the Champions League is practically attained, but the "Bianconeri" should be on their toes, as they have only won twice in the last 10 matches with four defeats. Last weekend, Max Allegri's wards regained their confidence, coping with "Fiorentina" by a score of 1:0 thanks to the only goal by Gatti, just before this victory, "Juventus" overwhelmed "Lazio" in the first semi-final match of the Italian Cup (2:0).

Interesting fact: at the moment, the visitors have won 11 Serie A matches, possessing the ball 50% of the playing time, and no team from the five top European leagues has managed to do this more often. Meanwhile, "Juve" occupies the third place in the overall standings by the number of away points: 27 in 15 duels with 22 scored and 14 conceded goals.

Head to Head Matches

The "Bianconeri" not only scored in each of the last 15 away Serie A matches against "Torino", but also didn't lose in the last 17 Turin derbies. The first-round meeting ended in a victory for Allegri's wards with the score 2-0.

Match Prediction for "Torino" vs "Juventus"

Recent history of this rivalry speaks for itself, however, it's foolish to deny the fact that under Ivan Juric's management, "Torino" has become even stronger – especially at home. Since the "Bianconeri" are still trying to recover their former conditions after a prolonged downturn, the guests will have to be content with just one point earned – I risk a bet on a draw.

Prediction for Total

In four of the last five head-to-head matches between these teams, no more than two goals were scored. It's unlikely that we will see a high-scoring shootout this time – I bet on the total goals under 2.5.

Prediction for Corners

"Torino" does not allow rivals of any level to attack a lot at home, so it makes sense to bet on the guests' individual total of corners under 5.5.

Prediction for Yellow Cards

Turin derbies are rarely rough: in the last four head-to-head matches between these teams, there were no more than 3 warnings in total. I bet on the total of yellow cards under 3.5.

Prediction for the Score

I bet on the exact score of 1:1.
