We have three Serie A games on Saturday, and the middle game of those sees Torino host Juventus. The away side come here with many talking about them, it's been a dramatic slide away from the title race, and with seven games to go, they are looking over their shoulder, as could slip further back in the standings.
Torino Form GuideJust inside the top half of the table, Torino are on course to have a pretty good season. They've got teams to chase above them, but others below them looking to catch up, so in the final seven games of the season, although there's nothing to play for, they will want a top half finish, so it gives them something to aim for.
But they do come here on the back of a defeat, losing 3-2 against relegation threatened Empoli. Before that, it was much better, four games without defeat, two wins and two draws. Their two wins came with clean sheets, beating Monza 1-0 and Udinese 2-0.
Juventus Form GuideThe slide of Juventus has without a doubt been the biggest Serie A story in the second half of the season. They've been a million miles away from what we expect, have fell down to third in the standings, and are in danger of dropping further which would be a huge disappointment. Don't forget, at one point in the first few weeks of 2024, they were top of the league.
The positive is they won their last game, a narrow 1-0 success over Fiorentina. But before that, they failed to win four in a row in the league, two draws and two defeats. They have recorded a cup win over Lazio in that period, so while things are still not great, I do think they are slowly picking up again.
Match PredictionI think the form of Juventus is still a worry, despite coming here on the back of a win. For that reason, I am going to side with Torino, though winning is going to be tough, so instead, I will back Torino on the double chance market, which covers them to win the game or it to end in a draw.
