Odds: 6/5 @ Bet 365

Hoping to extend their buffer at the top of the Serie A standings, Juventus will host Torino from behind closed doors on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been a glittering Serie A winning run, Juventus sit in pole position to reclaim their domestic title this season. In their 29 top-flight matches this year, they have recorded 23 wins, three draws, and three defeats, scoring 59 and conceding 25 in return. With a points tally of 72 and holding a four-point buffer at the top of the table, it should also be noted that Juventus hold the best defensive record in the division. As for their previous run of Serie A results, Saturday’s hosts have won their last six top-flight matches on the bounce, scoring at least a pair of goals in each of those victories. It should also be highlighted that Juventus have won their last seven consecutive matches on home soil, once again scoring over 1.5 goals in each of those wins.

As for the visitors, enduring what has been a worrying run of form, Torino still find themselves in a battle at the foot of the Serie A standings. In their 29 Serie A matches this season, they have recorded nine wins, four draws, and 16 defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 52 in return. With a points tally of 31 and sat down in 15th, it should also be noted that Torino hold the fourth-worst defensive record in the division. As for their previous run of results, Saturday’s guests have been hit with back-to-back defeats and have managed to win just one of their last 11 matches across all formats, losing nine of those appearances. Even more worrying, Torino have conceded over 3.5 goals in three of their last five matches on the road. Given the huge gulf in class, we’re backing a routine afternoon for Juventus this weekend.
