Juventus vs Torino in the first Derby della Mole of the season, aiming to maintain their long-standing dominance over their city rivals. New manager Luciano Spalletti began his tenure with a narrow 2-1 victory against Cremonese.

However, a 1-1 draw with Sporting in the UEFA Champions League revealed lingering issues within the squad. That result extended Juventus’ unbeaten streak to three games, yet they have managed only two wins in their last 11 competitive fixtures.

Spalletti is now searching for his first home victory as Bianconeri manager. He will take comfort in Juventus’ strong home record this season, remaining unbeaten with three wins and four draws. Clean sheets, though, have been rare, with only two in that period.

Torino’s rising form faces its toughest test

Torino showed great spirit in their recent 2-2 comeback against newly promoted Pisa. That draw extended their unbeaten run to five matches, including a memorable win over champions Napoli.

Manager Marco Baroni will miss this clash after being sent off last weekend, but his team has proven resilient away from home. The Granata have lost only one of their last four away games, a run highlighted by a stunning victory over Roma.

Despite Juventus’ overwhelming record in this rivalry—just one defeat in the last 40 competitive meetings since 1995—Torino will believe they can challenge the odds.

Recent trends suggest a tight contest. Five of Juventus’ last seven home matches saw both sides score, while only two of Torino’s last eight away games produced goals at both ends. Torino also struggle defensively early on, conceding a league-high 11 first-half goals this season.

For the hosts, Dušan Vlahović remains the key threat, with two first-half goals in his last three appearances. Torino will look to Giovanni Simeone, whose scoring presence often sparks results.

Juventus will assess Lloyd Kelly before kickoff, while Torino’s goalkeeper Franco Israel remains doubtful with a rib issue.
