The 208th Derby della Mole between Torino and Juventus will light up Turin this weekend as both sides look to bounce back from recent setbacks. The Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino will play host to the Serie A 32nd matchday on Saturday. The hosts Torino are ninth with 44 points, while the visitors Juventus are third with 62 points. Torino lost 3-2 to Empoli last time, despite fighting back from a goal down on two occasions. This result meant they are six points behind the top six, having played a game more than Atalanta. With sixth being the last realistic option for European qualification, time is running out for the hosts. They would love for their defensive display to be back at its usual best as they come to familiar climes. Torino have been beaten just once across their last ten home league games, managing seven clean sheets along the way.

Juventus are six points behind second-placed AC Milan and four ahead of fourth-placed Bologna ahead of this round. They defeated Fiorentina 1-0 in their last game for two consecutive wins, with the previous victory coming in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg over Lazio. The win over Fiorentina shouldn’t mask the fact that the Old Lady have won just two of their last ten league games, drawing and losing four each. The challenge is to keep scoring, as they uncharacteristically failed to score in four games during this run. With pressure mounting on the team, it would be interesting to see if they raise their game for the derby. That would be much needed, considering Juventus’ dire form in recent away games. They are winless in their last four away league games, losing three and drawing one.
