Serie A - Away to Torino, Juventus desperately need win to relieve pressure


The 10th round of the 2022/23 Serie A season will usher in a Turin derby tomorrow. Juventus, who have been unstable recently, will go to the road to challenge the arch-rival Torino, hoping to win to relieve some of the pressure.


Juventus has only achieved 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in the past 9 league games, and currently ranks 8th in the Serie A standings with 13 points, 7 points away from the top four positions. In terms of the Champions League group stage, Juventus is currently in third place in the group standings with 1 win and 3 losses after losing 2-0 away to Maccabi Haifa in the fourth round of the competition, with little hope of qualifying.


Although Juventus has indicated earlier that it will not dismiss coach Allegri, the pressure on Allegri will be very heavy at present, so the team does need to gain some confidence to face the next league and Champions League games .


Atalanta vs Sassuolo


As for Torino , the team had lost 3 consecutive defeats to Inter Milan, Sassuolo and Napoli earlier, and ended their losing streak with a 1-1 draw with Empoli last week. Embarrassing results. At present, Torino has achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses through 9 rounds of the league, ranking 10th in the standings with 11, so Torino will rely on some home advantage to steal 3 points from Juventus in this campaign.


In terms of lineup, Di Maria was injured in the Champions League group stage and will be added to the injured list with Chiesa Jr., Keoroge, Pogba, Ake and De Sciglio. The Torino coach Juric was released from the ban, and the team has no injury problems, so it can play a strong team to deal with Juventus.


In addition, the two sides have played against each other 162 times in Serie A. Juventus has a large advantage with 78 wins, 45 draws and 39 losses, and also achieved 36 wins, 24 draws and 22 losses on the road.


In other games, Atalanta will face Sassuolo at home and look to take all 3 points to reach the first place in the standings. In addition, the newly-promoted Monza went away to challenge Empoli, and looked forward to winning 4 consecutive victories.
