Juventus: Angel Di Maria

Being in his form of the season Di Maria scored a hattrick in his last appearance for the club and has scored a Puskas-level goal with a first touch curve straight into the net against Nantes. Argentina's world cup winner has scored 7 goals and made 3 assists for the club and is expected to score in the next game to give Juve the 3 points.

Torino: Aleksei Miranchuk

Injury and team news

Paul Pogba (knee), Arkadiusz Milik (muscle), Fabio Miretti (ankle), and Kaio Jorge (knee) are all Juventus players who are still out due to long-term injuries and are unable to play. Juve's victory over Nantes last weekend was missed by Federico Chiesa, who recently returned from a 10-month absence due to an ACL injury. He now faces a race against time to be fully fit for this match.

Samuele Ricci, who is still out for Torino with a calf injury that will keep him out until next month, as well as David Zima and Valentino Lazaro, both of whom have knee injuries, are also unavailable to Ivan Juric.

Ivan Ilic, who Croatia's coach signed in January, should be available, but it's unclear whether the loanee from Verona will be able to start. Karol Linetty might move into the hosts' midfield instead.

Predicted Lineup

Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Alex Sandro; Cuadrado, Fagioli, Paredes, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria, Vlahovic.

Torino (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic Savic; Djidji, Schuurs, Buongiorno; Singo, Linetty, Ilic, Vojvoda; Miranchuk, Karamoh; Sanabria.

Match Prediction

Juventus is most likely to win the game as they have pretty great stats against Torino as they lack a cutting edge to go along with their approach play, but they can eventually break through against a Juventus team lacking in confidence after 15 points deduction.

Prediction: Juventus 3-1 Torino
