Torino - Juventus predictions

Torino are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Serie A, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 3.70, it’s not very likely to happen.

Juventus are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Top online bookmakers gave Torino a slight edge over their opponents in the previous round despite the fact they were playing away, but they ended up losing anyway. More disappointingly, they were behind at both halftime and the final whistle, which is not something their fans are too happy about.

Juve defeated Fiorentina in the previous round with a narrow 1:0 goal difference and a lead at both halftime and the final whistle. To be frank, this outcome wasn’t much of a surprise – top online bookmakers clearly favoured Juventus who also had the advantage of playing at home.

Looking strictly at the home side, this match can be a solid choice for a bet like the Under 5 Goals market. Their previous two games at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino ended up confirming even Under 5 Goals.

With two matches in a row seeing not more than one or no goals, Juventus’s recent history marks this match as a good time for Under 1.5 Goals bets.

The Old Lady supporters have a lot to be happy about with what they’ve seen, but it’s not over yet. Their strong form brought them to be number 3rd on the table, holding a Champions League qualifying spot. They can’t afford to drop their focus now – not with a difficult matchup coming up this Saturday.

Juventus won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Saturday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.50.
