Serie A: Juventus vs. Torino – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Juventus start Dusan Vlahovic and Kenan Yildiz with Khephren Thuram doubtful; Torino arrive unbeaten and rely on Giovanni Simeone. Punters: Juventus are likely favourites but a narrow result looks probable — consider Juventus win with both teams to score or an Asian handicap (Juventus -0.5/-1) and Vlahovic anytime as strong options.

Juventus vs Torino: Derby della Mole Preview

Kick-off is at 18:00 CET (17:00 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Juventus head into the derby unbeaten in their last two matches under Luciano Spalletti, while Torino arrive on a five-game unbeaten run. Torino will be without their head coach in the dugout due to a one-game suspension.

Form and Stakes

Juventus

Juventus have found momentum under Spalletti, but injuries have thinned squad depth. The side needs a strong domestic result to maintain pressure in the table and to keep confidence high in front of home fans.

Torino

Torino have been resilient, collecting points across five matches. They will be tested by Juventus’ frontline but arrive confident, led by Giovanni Simeone’s goal threat.

Team News and Fitness

Juventus will miss several players through injury: Lloyd Kelly, Juan Cabal, Gleison Bremer, Carlo Pinsoglio and Arkadiusz Milik remain unavailable. Khephren Thuram is doubtful and may start on the bench, which could blunt Juventus’ midfield creativity; Weston McKennie looks set to cover if Thuram is omitted.

Torino will be without Franco Israel and Perr Schuurs. Selection choices remain over who will partner Simeone in attack and which central midfield pairing will be chosen.

Tactical Battle

Juventus are likely to line up in a flexible 3-4-1-2, relying on Vlahovic and Yildiz for penetration behind a compact midfield. If Thuram is absent, Juventus may trade some flair for balance via McKennie and Locatelli. Torino’s 3-5-2 aims to congest midfield and feed Simeone; their ability to supply forward runners will be decisive.

Key match-ups

Juventus’ attacking duo vs Torino’s central defenders — the outcome of these duels will shape the scoreline. Midfield control, especially if Thuram sits out, will determine which side dominates tempo and transitions.

Probable Line-ups

Juventus (3-4-1-2): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Koopmeiners; Cambiaso, Locatelli, McKennie, Kostic; Conceicao; Yildiz, Vlahovic.

Torino (3-5-2): Paleari; Ismajli, Maripan, Coco; Pedersen, Ilic, Casadei, Vlasic, Lazaro; Ngonge, Simeone.

Betting Implications

With Vlahovic leading Juventus’ attack and Thuram doubtful, the market may slim Juventus’ margin of superiority. Juventus are favourites but not guaranteed; value bets to consider include Juventus to win with both teams to score, an Asian handicap for Juventus (-0.5 or -1 depending on Thuram’s status), and Dusan Vlahovic anytime scorer. Always factor late team news and confirmations before placing bets.
