Torino v Juventus

Saturday, January 11 – 6:00pm CET – Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino
Torino have struggled recently, failing to win in their last three matches, and sit 11th in the standings. Juventus, fifth in the table, are unbeaten in their last 14 Derby della Mole clashes, including 10 victories.

Eighth-placed AC Milan are targeting a rise up the table as they host Cagliari, who recently escaped the relegation zone after beating Monza.
