Juventus will aim to maintain their fine record in the Turin Derby as they face Torino in a Serie A Fixture on Saturday. The Bianconeri are unbeaten in the league this season and should have enough to get past their local rivals.
Things have been difficult for Torino lately as they have claimed just one win in their last 10 Serie A matches and are in the bottom half of the table. They have failed to score in seven matches in that run, including the 0-0 draw with Parma in their previous fixture.
Torino have also struggled at home, failing to win any of their matches at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. The goals have also been hard to come by for Paolo Vanoli’s men, who have failed to score in four matches in that run.
Juventus will be looking to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup semi-final in midweek. Thiago Motta’s men are still unbeaten in Serie A this season but will be keen to turn their numerous draws into wins having thrown away the lead twice to play out a 2-2 scoreline with Fiorentina last time out.
The Bianconeri have a decent record on their travels, with four wins from their eight Serie A away matches so far. They boast one of the best defensive records this season and have kept five clean sheets in that run.

Players to watch: Eyes on Yildiz
