Why Juventus cancelled Spalletti press conference ahead of derby against Torino

Luciano Spalletti has cancelled Friday’s press conference because of a Juventus shareholders’ meeting before the Derby della Mole. For bettors, Juventus’ closed-door preparation and early positive results under Spalletti point to a potential narrow home victory — consider backing Juventus to win or Juventus -0.5 Asian handicap ahead of Saturday’s clash at the Allianz Stadium.

Spalletti skips pre-match press conference ahead of Derby della Mole

Luciano Spalletti will not meet the media on Friday as Juventus prepare to face Torino at the Allianz Stadium. The club has cancelled the traditional pre-match press engagement to prioritise internal business on the same day.

Shareholders' meeting to formalise structural changes

The Friday gathering is expected to formalise key structural and financial changes within the club hierarchy, prompting Juventus to maintain focus on the internal event rather than public duties.

Closed-door preparations

Spalletti will complete final preparations with his squad behind closed doors, keeping tactics and team selection under wraps ahead of Saturday evening’s derby against Ivan Juric’s Torino.

Form and early signs under Spalletti

The new coach has shown promising early results: a 2-1 win over Cremonese in his debut and a 1-1 draw with Sporting in midweek. The Derby della Mole represents another significant test of his methods and the squad’s mentality.

Match context and tactical considerations

Juventus’ home advantage and recent momentum suggest they will enter the fixture confident, while the closed-door approach could indicate tactical secrecy. Torino, coached by Ivan Juric, will likely target set-piece situations and quick transitions.

Betting implications

For punters, Juventus’ combination of home advantage, positive early form under Spalletti and discreet final preparations makes a narrow home win or Juventus on the -0.5 Asian handicap a plausible market to consider. Monitor late team news and injuries before placing bets.
