On Wednesday night, Italian giants Juventus host city rivals Torino in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.
Reigning Italian champions Juventus head into this clash against their neighbours in fine form, having recorded seven wins from their last eight games in all competitions.
The Bianconeri’s recent run of form has been based on solid defensive foundations, as Max Allegri’s side have kept clean sheets in eight of their last nine competitive outings, conceding just once in the process.
Last time out Allegri’s side recorded a 3-1 win at Verona in Serie A, which saw the champions run of eight games without conceding a goal come to an end.
The home side recorded a comfortable 2-0 win over Genoa in the last round of the competition. The Bianconeri are strong on home soil, as they are unbeaten in their last eight games at the Allianz Stadium in all competitions.
Juventus have also won 12 of the last 13 meetings with Il Toro in all competitions. In fact, Torino have won just one of the last 20 competitive games between the pair.
Torino’s recent form has been mixed. The visitors have drawn six of their last ten outings in all competitions and they currently sit midtable in the Serie A table.
Last time out Sinisa Mihajlovic’s side drew 0-0 with Genoa on home soil, while in the last round of the Coppa Italia recorded an impressive 2-1 win at Roma.
Torino are currently on a run of five games unbeaten on their travels. However, three of those five games have finished in draws. The visitors have scored at least two goals in their last three away games.
However, prior to that prolific run of form, they had scored just three goals in their previous four away outings.
Forebet predicts that the home side will record another victory over their local rivals to move into the last four of the competition.
