Juventus vs Torino prediction, H2H and probable lineups — November 8, 2025
In Serie A’s 11th round, Turin will be electrified by its legendary derby as Juventus face off against Torino. The clash is set for Saturday, November 8, with kick-off scheduled at 18:00 Central European Time. I’m offering my pick for the winner of this high-stakes encounter.
Match preview
After a defeat to Lazio, Juventus management’s patience finally snapped, resulting in Igor Tudor’s dismissal. Under the Croatian, the Bianconeri went winless in eight consecutive matches, only snapping the streak in a recent showdown against Udinese.
Luciano Spalletti, who replaced Tudor at the helm, is tasked with energizing the squad and injecting fresh tactical ideas. The Italian coach demands high pressing, ball control, and rapid transitions from defense to attack.
The Bianconeri no longer look as pragmatic, as evidenced by their latest match against Cremonese. They only managed to score twice, but their attacking play showed clear improvement. Dusan Vlahovic is once again poised to be a key figure, having already netted 6 goals in the new campaign.
The Serbian striker also found the net in the Champions League. Juventus dominated Sporting at home throughout the match but had to settle for just a draw. The Italians have collected just three points from four group stage matches so far.
Torino enter the derby in decent form. Judging by their recent results, the Bulls are gradually finding their rhythm after a difficult start to the season.
Torino’s style is disciplined and compact. They rarely deliver dazzling performances, but they strive to avoid major breakdowns and maintain a mid-table position. It hasn’t been easy—16 goals conceded is the worst defensive record in the league. However, it’s worth noting that five of those came in the opening match against Inter.
The main issue for Torino is converting chances and their limited attacking resources. Still, their defense is capable of producing a strong performance. Against Juventus, they’ll need to play all their trump cards—counterattacks, set pieces, and defensive organization will be key.
Special mention goes to Giovanni Simeone, on loan from Napoli. The son of Atlético Madrid’s head coach has already scored four goals for his new club and has edged out Duván Zapata for a starting spot.
