MATCH PREVIEW
Torino – Juventus
Stadio Olimpico
The 137th Serie A edition of the ever-fiery Derby della Mole sees
Torino and Juventus looking to continue their positive start to
the 2013-14 campaign.
Positive start
Torino were twice pegged back by Verona on Wednesday as
the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Alessio Cerci reaffirmed
his role as Torino’s key player as he netted a goal in either half,
however Juanito and Jorginho ensured a share of the spoils.
The Bianconeri made it through the Chievo trip unscathed, with
Simone Pepe, Martin Caceres and Rubinho still the only players
missing. After some rotation in the past week, it is expected a
close to full strength XI will start at the Olimpico.
Bianconeri edge
Juve have the edge in Torino-hosted affairs. The Old Lady has
claimed 27 victories to Toro’s 18, with scores remaining level on 23
occasions. Last term a Juve-late show meant a 2-0 victory and one
hand on the Serie A trophy. Overall, the Granata have not won
a Mole match since dual victories in 1994-95.
Players to watch
Alessio Cerci (Torino) – The Italian international has enjoyed an
explosive start to the new season. Cerci is a top the scoring
charts alongside Giuseppe Rossi following his Verona double
and looks at home in the 3-5-2 formation. Juve must be wary
of his capabilities.
While coughing up leads against Verona and Milan this term,
Giampiero Ventura’s men can be pleased with their position
after five rounds. With only one loss so far they sit in the top half,
even if Coach Giampiero Ventura felt they deserved maximum
points against the Gialloblu.
Marcelo Larrondo is the only Granata player not in contention
to feature in the derby, through injury. They are expected to
continue with the 3-5-2 formation, one which has brought the
best out of Danilo D’Ambrosio, a player in Azzurri reckoning.
Comeback victories
Juventus made it back-to-back Veronese triumphs with another
comeback, this time against Chievo. Cyril Thereau put the hosts
ahead, but Fabio Quagliarella and an Alessandro Bernardini
own goal gave Juve a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
Paul Pogba (Juventus) – Having stepped in during Claudio
Marchisio’s absence, the Frenchman has hardly put a foot wrong.
Pogba was involved in both goals at Chievo and was one of
the few players to put in a consistent performance. He has
another chance to shine here.
Antonio Conte called Wednesday’s success a test of character, yet
worrying for Juventus is the fact they continue to fall behind.
Following Inter, Copenhagen and Verona, the Chievo contest was
the fourth in succession in which they conceded the first goal.
It is something the players spoke of post-Chievo and
are aware it needs addressing.
