PICK OF THE DAY

Juventus - Torino
Tip : GG (both to score)
Odd : 1.80
FT : ??

Juventus will be out for revenge when they host Torino on Saturday night. The Italian champions had a brilliant 33 game winning run at home in the league, before Torino took a point last season. That may not have had any bearing on the title race, but it still ended Juve’s great streak, when they were on course to make history.

Could Torino show up and bring an end to Juve’s perfect start to the season? The champions have won all five matches so far, although they were far from convincing when Fiorentina visited Juventus Stadium on Wednesday night. Will they be able to up their game ahead of this derby clash?

These two sides played out a couple of fantastic games last season, with Torino pushing the champions. Il Toro do have a brilliant attacking line up to call upon, which helped them pick up three goals at Udinese in midweek. Il Toro have struck in their previous 11 matches on the road, including their draw at Juve last season.

The visitors have scored in three of their last four derby games at Juve, while five of the last six encounters between these two has seen both teams find the net. After their win over Fiorentina, Juve have now scored in 40 straight home league games, going unbeaten in that time. That should see the champions strike against this shaky Torino defence.

However, the visitors have Andrea Belotti to help them trouble Juve. The up and coming Italian forward has struck three in four games for Torino this term, and he’s already struck two goals against Juventus in a short career in Turin. We see Belotti making a big impression here.

We expect Torino to get on the scoresheet here, and think there’s value in backing both teams to score at 1.80. The visitors are a real danger going forward, and there’s no one they enjoy proving that against more than rivals Juve. With the hosts losing players at the back through injury and transfers, we’re backing goals in this clash on Saturday.
