Juventus - Torino predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.52 is a solid option. That said, Torino may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of Juventus and the 7.18 odds given to Torino to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

The host’s victory in their previous Serie A away game was quite expected, given the overwhelmingly favourable odds, most bookies gave them. They stayed ahead throughout the match and recorded a narrow 1:2 win.

Last round was rather disappointing for Torino, who were favourites in a home game against Pisa. Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their Torino’s ability to press the advantage. In the end, a 2:2 draw was nothing to be proud about.

The hosts are off to a decent start this Serie A season, but they’ll definitely try to move up to one of the leading table positions. This clash is an opportunity to try to earn new three points they need to do so.

Torino ended up at number 13th on the Serie A table after the first 11 rounds of the season. They’ll need at another 5 points to catch up to a Europa League qualifying spot. There’s plenty of time left to do so, but this match represents a major obstacle.

The recent history of this matchup reveals a good part of why the hosts are considered the favourites. A quick look at the stats shows a decisive victory over Torino. The most recent clash between the two squads is from last season, though.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
