Juventus – Torino Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (28.2.2023)
Juventus have won three straight league games, and the Zebras hope to stay on the right track while also extending their dominance over Torino. The Maroons haven’t defeated Juventus since 2015 and will have a tall task to snap their skid.
Juventus vs. Torino: Initial Situation
Juventus are eighth in Serie A with 32 points and a 36:17 goal difference, huge 12 points behind the Champions League qualification spot. On the other side, Torino are ninth with 31 points and a 24:25 goal difference.
Juventus Stats & Form
The Zebras are coming off a 3-0 road victory over Nantes in the second leg of the Europa League first knock-out stage. Angel Di Maria bagged a hat-trick, and the Zebras recorded the fifth win in six games in all competitions. They’ve won three in a row in Serie A without conceding, outlasting Salernitana 3-0, Fiorentina 1-0, and Spezia 2-0 in the process.
Juventus have struggled with injuries all season, and they should get Paul Pogba back this Tuesday. Arkadiusz Milik remains on the shelf, so Dusan Vlahovic will continue to lead the Zebras’ frontline. Vlahovic has accounted for ten goals and four assists in 22 appearances, while Di Maria has seven goals and six assists on his season tally.
Torino Stats & Form
The Maroons have been pretty inconsistent lately, registering a couple of wins, draws, and losses over their previous six outings in all competitions. They are coming off a 2-2 home draw against Cremonese in the Round 23 of the Italian Serie A. The Maroons are also winless in three straight games on the road, earning just one draw in the process.
Striker Antonio Sanabria leads the way for Torino with five goals in 21 matches in all competitions, while midfielders Nikola Vlasic and Aleksey Miranchuk have notched four goals and four assists apiece. Vlasic is sidelined with a thigh injury, while right-back Valentino Lazaro (three assists in 17 apps) won’t play against Juventus due to a knee injury.
Juventus – Torino: Head-to-Head
Juventus outlasted Torino 1-0 in their first meeting of the season back in October. As I’ve mentioned, the Zebras have dominated the Maroons over the last few years. Juventus is undefeated in 17 consecutive meetings with Torino, recording 13 wins in that stretch.
Juventus – Torino Odds
Torino haven’t played well in the last few weeks, so I was expecting Juventus around 1.55 odds. The Zebras are sitting at 1.75 on Unibet Sportsbook which seems a nice prize. The bookmakers don’t expect to see a high-scoring affair, and the Over 2.5 Goals pays 2.20 on bet365 Sportsbook.
Juventus have played very well over a two-leg matchup against Nantes in the Europa League. The Zebras are arguably a much better team than Torino, who’ll miss a couple of important first-team players in Nikola Vlasic and Valentino Lazaro, so I’m going with the hosts to win at 1.75 odds on Unibet. Torino will have a tall task to find the back of the net against Juventus. The Zebras have only allowed eight goals in 12 league games at home. Also, Juventus have conceded just one goal in their previous six outings in all competitions while scoring 11 in return.
