Torino – Juventus

Juventus' crisis will not end in the match against Torino

There is no doubt about Juventus' crisis situation. "The Old Lady are eighth in the league with three wins in nine games and one third in the Champions League. The quintessence of all (or not yet?) was their loss to Maccabi Haifa in the last round of the European competitions. For reference, the Israelis won in the most prestigious club tournament of the international arena twenty years ago. Now, Allegri's men have minimal chance of making it out of the group. Juventus need to beat PSG and Benfica and expect to lose to Maccabi. The team lost 2-0 to Milan in the last round of the championship. "The Rossoneri, by the way, have an overcrowded sickbay and have been preparing for the game against Chelsea. What about Allegri? Club president Andrea Agnelli has said he has confidence in the coach and all decisions regarding dismissals are made at the end of the season. The season (at least the league season) for the Bianconeri could be over very soon. According to reports in La Repubblica, the team do not understand Allegri's ideas. Some of the players have expressed dissatisfaction with the coach. Prior to the reporting meeting, the team went to the base where they will make their preparations. Torino are now tied after three defeats. Sounds good, but in reality the Bulls clearly deserved better. Ivan Djuric's side have scored as many as 2.74 goals (Empoli's 0.15) on xG. However, Marinchuk and Sanabria's goals were cancelled out due to offside. Bad luck has accompanied Torino this season. The team is just about the most underdog in the league in terms of xPTS points (3.85 points). Added to all of Juventus' problems is the injury to Angel di Maria. The team's abysmal away results are also worth mentioning. "The Bianconeri have lost four of their six away games and have twice shared points. Even if that away game is in a different part of Turin. Ivan Juric played quite well against the Old Lady last season. Given that Allegri's side have seriously deteriorated in terms of play, the Bulls should have no trouble picking up points now.
