Latest Torino vs Juventus squad information
Turin is heating up not only because of the summer heat but also because of the unstable developments in the strength of both teams before the tense derby. "Old Lady" Juventus is facing an "injury nightmare" when main striker Dusan Vlahovic is struggling with persistent muscle pain. Strange bird Francisco Conceicao is not doing any better with a thigh injury, both are training "in their own way" and the possibility of playing in the derby is still a big question mark.
Juve's squad is even more devastated without Manuel Locatelli due to suspension, the "injured" list is still long with Arkadiusz Milik, Bremer and Juan Cabal who are undergoing long-term treatment. In addition, the future of "wall" Danilo at Juve is also very vague when he is about to leave this winter. A difficult problem for Juventus's coach when the staff falls into such a "missing and missing" situation.
On the other side of the front line, Torino also cannot avoid the "headache" with worrying injuries. Hope for recovery is placed on the duo Saul Coco and "sweeper" Samuele Ricci, after both had to leave the field early in the match against Parma.
Torino's defense and offense are even more "distressed" with Perr Schuurs and Duvan Zapata both having to take long-term leave. Zapata's absence in particular creates fierce competition for the striker position between Che Adams, Yann Karamoh and Antonio Sanabria, who are all playing inconsistently.
Which one of them can break through and make the difference for Torino's attack in the upcoming derby?
Latest expected lineup for Torino vs Juventus

Juventus:
Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Thuram, Koopmeiners; Yildiz, Gonzalez, Mbangula; Vlahovic
Latest Torino vs Juventus football review
In November, at the Allianz, the Bianconeri were in full swing, extending their unbeaten streak against their troublesome neighbours to 19, a record high in the Derby della Mole. Juventus this season, it seemed, were unstoppable, but a scar appeared, a second stumble – and their first defeat in their homeland – in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final last week.
AC Milan were cunning, exploiting gaps, turning the tables in the second half; Locatelli clumsily created a fateful penalty, and Gatti added a bitter own goal. The ticket to the final slipped away, the sad song rang out.
Across the road, Thiago Motta's team are also going through dark days of disappointment in Serie A. The 2-2 draw with Fiorentina, a cruel blow, the equalizer in the 87th minute, suffocated the hope of victory. That achievement should have been an 18-match unbeaten streak, but now they have fallen behind, missing the top 4 as the season enters the first half of the journey under Motta.
For that reason, a defeat to their rivals is unacceptable. In the first leg, Juventus led 2-0 thanks to goals from Weah and Yildiz, a derby win this time is a must.
This century, Torino is like a drunkard in the dark, only once, out of 36 fights, tasted the flavor of victory (and then suffered 27 humiliating defeats!). The memory of April 2015, with the sparkling moments of Darmian and Quagliarella (Pirlo's goal like a fading stroke) is like a mirage in the hazy sky.
Paolo Vanoli’s team is struggling, the light of glory has faded. The early season’s brilliance has been blown away, replaced by a cold, miserable winter. For eight seasons in a row, they have ended the year in sadness and opened the new year 2025 with a hopeless draw against Parma.
With the wins dwindling, the pressure is on Vanoli. He needs to make a change. Torino are six points behind where they were this time last year and in 10 of the last 11 Serie A seasons their points tally has been even worse.
In the last 10 matches, Torino has been a weak creature, only scoring 4 goals. Two home wins were like drops of rain in the desert, they entered this derby as the underdog. However, the match between the traditional side and the injured side always contains surprises...
