Torino

Last updated: Sat 15 December 2018 21:47
In Brief

A scoreless draw away against Milan. The home derby against Juventus. No major injury concerns.

Looking Back

Torino played a great first half against Milan on the road but failed to score any goals. In the second half, they risked a little.

Djidji was a real wall in front of Sirigu. Rincon dominated in the middle of the park, even coming close to scoring.

Looking Ahead

With just one win in the last 4, Torino will next be hosting the home derby against Juventus.

No major injury concerns. Iago Falque should play despite some fatigue.

Baselli should be preferred to Soriano in the midfield. De Silvestri is contending with Aina on the right flank of the midfield. Zaza represents the alternative to Iago Falque in the attack.

Points of Interest

Torino hosted Juventus 73 times: they won 19 and drew 23, while losing 31. Overall, they scored 76 goals and conceded 101. They lost 8 out of the last 9, while winning once, 2-1, in April 2015.

In Brief

Lost 2-1 to Young Boys but topped their Champions League group. Facing Torino in the derby. Bentancur banned. Barzagli, Cuadrado, Khedira and Cancelo out. Benatia returns.

Looking Back

Played a poor match against Young Boys and went two goals down. They came back in the last quarter of an hour and almost reached a draw.

Sealed the success in their Group, anyway.

Most of the players offered poor performances but Ronaldo at least created some dangers and assisted Dybala, who scored and almost scored a second.

Looking Ahead

Have won all the Serie A games but one so far. Will next be facing Torino on the away derby.

Cuadrado and Cancelo 1 month unavailable due to knee injuries. Barzagli and Khedira also miss out. Benatia is back.

Bentancur is under suspension.

Spinazzola eligible again.

Bonucci or Rugani will play in the heart of the defence alonside Chiellini. Bernardeschi and Douglas Costa are also pushing for starting places.

De Sciglio could act in the back 3 in a 3-5-2 formation.

Points of Interest

Juventus conceded more than 2 goals away to Torino only 7 out of 73 times while they scored more in 10. They failed to score in 16 occasions while they kept 29 clean sheets.
