Juventus have won five of their last six games across all competitions this month. Massimiliano Allegri’s side put three goals past Nantes to secure a 4-1 aggregate win and progress to the last-16 stage of the Europa League. Bianconneri thrashed Nantes courtesy of Argentine World Cup winner Angel di Maria’s hat-trick at Stade de la Beaujoire. Prior to that, Massimiliano Allegri’s side defeated Spezia 2-0 away from home in the top flight, thanks to goals from Moise Kean and Di Maria. It was their 14th league-win of the season, but because of the point deduction, Juve are sitting 13 points adrift of the top-four.
Torino, on the other hand, are left with only the Serie A to focus on, having been eliminated from the quarter-finals of Copa del Rey by Fiorentina earlier this month. The Bull have been pretty good in the league this season, having recorded 14 wins, as many defeats and five draws thus far. Last time out, Maroons shared the spoils against a struggling Cremonese despite the fact that Antonio Sanabria and Wilfried Singo got on the scoresheet. The Granta are currently ten points adrift of the top-six and will be looking to better their last season’s tenth place finish this time around.
Former Torino defender Bremer is set to partner Danilo and Sandro in the Juventus back-three, while midfielder Paul Pogba and striker Arkadiusz Milik are still sidelined with injuries. Di Maria, who has netted four times in the last two outings, will continue to support striker Dusan Vlahovic. Fagioli, Paredes and Rabiot are expected to form the midfield-trio. As for Torino, head coach Ivan Juric is likely to opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Sanabria leading the line, with Radonjic and Miranchuk in support. Meanwhile, the likes of Nikola Vlasic, Valentino Lazaro, David Zima and Pietro Pellegrini are occupying the treatment room.
Juventus probable line-up: Szczesny, Danilo, Bremer, Sandro, Cuadrado, Fagioli, Paredes, Rabiot, Kostic, Di Maria, Vlahovic
Torino Probable line-up: Milinkovic-Savic, Djidji, Schuurs, Buongiorno, Singo, Ilic, Adopo, Vojvoda, Miranchuk, Radonjic, Sanabria
