Next Match

Gennaro Gattuso's men have won eight and lost none of their last 10 league matches, and can be backed at 9/2 (5.50) to pull off a first victory in Turin since he struck the only goal in a 1-0 win back in 2011.

None of this pair's last 11 Serie A meetings have resulted in draws, but there are odds of 13/5 (3.60) on offer on them sharing the spoils in this one.

Team News

Giorgio Chiellini, Alex Sandro and Sami Khedira are all nearing full fitness but may be kept back for next week's Real Madrid clash, with Mehdi Benatia and Miralem Pjanic more likely to play due to suspension in the Champions League.

Alessio Romagnoli and Davide Calabria are both available again after injury, although Ignazio Abate remains sidelined and Andrea Conti could be out for the rest of the season after suffering a setback.

Tight match

Despite his team's strong record in recent encounters, Massimiliano Allegri will be expecting a tough match against his former club.

The Rossoneri have been revolutionised under Gattuso, with their success built on a strong defensive unit that has conceded just six goals in the last 10 league games.

Goal

This resistance may prove tough to crack for a home forward line that has only scored eight times in six Serie A fixtures, although there are few worries at the other end of the pitch for a defence that has been breached once in 16 in the league.

Predictions

Considering their superior quality and experience, odds of 12/5 (3.40) look like a smart bet on Juventus edging a tight match that produces under 2.5 goals.

That bet would have paid out in eight of their last 10 league matches, as well as the reverse encounter versus Milan at the San Siro.
