Juventus Aims to Extend Dominance in Derby della Mole Against Torino
Juventus is set to host city rivals Torino in the highly anticipated Derby della Mole on Saturday, November 9, at the Allianz Stadium. This match is part of Matchday 12 in the 2024/2025 Serie A season. Juventus, under Coach Thiago Motta, is seeking to extend their impressive record in the derby, having gone 18 games without defeat against their neighbors[3][4].
The Bianconeri have called up a strong squad for the match, including goalkeeper Mattia Perin, defenders Federico Gatti and Kalulu, and midfielders Manuel Locatelli, Teun Koopmeiners, and Kenan Yildiz. Dusan Vlahovic will lead the attack, supported by Tim Weah and Yildiz. However, Juventus will be without several key players due to injuries, including Douglas Luiz, Arkadiusz Milik, Nico Gonzalez, Gleison Bremer, and Vasilije Adzic, as well as the suspended Paul Pogba[2][4].
Torino, on the other hand, has faced significant challenges this season, particularly with the loss of their top scorer Duvan Zapata to a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Che Adams, another key player, is also doubtful due to a muscular injury. Torino will rely on Samuele Ricci and Tonny Sanabria, with Nikola Vlasic potentially taking on a more advanced role[4].
The match kicks off at 2:45 PM ET in the USA and can be watched live on various platforms, including Fubo, Paramount+, FOX Deportes, and DirecTV Stream.
Juventus enters the match as favorites, given their strong defensive record and Torino’s recent struggles. The Bianconeri have conceded the fewest shots in Serie A, while Torino has conceded the most overall. This statistical advantage suggests a comfortable home win for Juventus[3].
