Serie A 2024-2025: Torino-Juventus, the likely lineups
Torino-Juventus, the probable formations
On Saturday, January 11, 2025, at 6 p.m., the Stadio Olimpico – Grande Torino will be the scene of derby della Mole number 160 between Torino and Juventus. A historic and fascinating challenge, with Juventus arriving at the stracittadina on the strength of an impressive streak of 19 consecutive victories against the granata in official confrontations.
However, the Bianconeri are not living their best moment. The recent defeat in the Italian Super Cup against AC Milan in Riyadh highlighted the difficulties of a team that, this season, has accumulated as many as 11 draws in 18 Serie A matches. Considering all competitions, X-signs rise to 13 in 26 matches.
Torino, on the other hand, is going through a complicated phase. After a good start to the championship, Paolo Vanoli’s team has slowed down, winning just 7 points in the last 7 days. The granata currently find themselves just above the relegation zone, with only a 4-point margin over Lecce and Cagliari, third-last. Despite the difficulties, the derby è always an unpredictable contest, where predictions are often overturned. History, però speaks for itself: Juventus has won 78 derbies, compared to Torino’s 35 successes.
Probable lineups
Torino (3-5-2): Milinkovic-Savic; Vojvoda, Coco, Maripan; Lazaro, Ilic, Ricci, Vlasic, Sosa; Karamoh, Adams. All. Vanoli.
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, McKennie; Douglas Luiz, Thuram; Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Mbangula; Nico Gonzalez. All. Motta.
