FOCUS ON TORINO VS JUVENTUS

Published on: 13 October 2022

* Juventus have lost only one of their last 32 Serie A matches against Torino (W23 D8), on 26th April 2015; Matteo Darmian and Fabio Quagliarella scored for the Granata after Andrea Pirlo’s goal for the visitors.

* Torino's last clean sheet against Juventus in Serie A was back on February 26th 2008, when Walter Novellino drew 0-0 against Claudio Ranieri - since then the Bianconeri have scored 40 goals in 22 games in this fixture.

* After the 1-1 draw in the last Derby, Torino could remain unbeaten in consecutive Serie A matches against Juventus for the first time since 2001/02 (two draws under Giancarlo Camolese).

* Torino have picked up just two wins in their last 12 home games in Serie A (D5 L5); the Granata have failed to score in five of their last eight home matches (they could score in two home matches in a row for the first time since March 2022).

* 13 points in the first nine Serie A matches is Juventus’s worst return since 2015/16 (12 points), a trend that changed in that season against Torino (on MD11, the first of a streak of 15 consecutive wins).

* Juventus haven’t won any of their last six away Serie A games (D2 L4); they last went on a longer such run in August 2010 (seven) – in addition, their last streak of three consecutive away defeats in Serie A was back in April 2010 (four).

* Juventus have scored 25% of their league goals this season in the first 15 minutes of matches, the highest percentage of any Serie A side. Meanwhile, Torino’s earliest goal this season was scored in the 17th minute against Cremonese.

* On 3rd April 2021, Antonio Sanabria became the first Torino player to score a brace against Juventus in Serie A since Marco Ferrante in March 2000. The Paraguayan, however, hasn’t scored at Olimpico Grande Torino in Serie A since January 23rd, against Sassuolo.

* Dusan Vlahovic has played more matches against Torino than against any other side in Serie A (eight) - however the Serbian has scored only one goal against the Granata (with Fiorentina in August 2021), a negative record for him among sides he has faced in at least seven games in the competition.

* Juan Cuadrado has been involved in 11 goals against Torino in Serie A (three goals and eight assists), a record for him in the competition. Since Serie A returned to 20 teams (from 2004/05), only two players provided more assists against a single opponent in the top-flight (11 Antonio Candreva v Fiorentina, 9 Antonio Cassano v Udinese).
