28 February 2023
Today is derby day.
Juve host Torino this evening at 20:45 CET, the closing fixture of Serie A Matchday 24.
To enter the derby mood, below are the stand-out statistics and curiosities ahead of the 156th top-flight clash between Turin's two teams.
SCORING SEQUENCE | Juventus have scored a total of 41 goals in 23 consecutive league games against Torino - the last Granata derby clean sheet dates back to 26 February 2008 in a goalless draw that which was the only other Turin derby in Serie A held on a Tuesday.
UNBREAKABLE BACKLINE | Only Barcelona have achieved more clean sheet wins (16) without conceding than Juventus (14) in Europe's top-10 leagues in season 2022/23 - the Bianconeri have won 11 of the last 14 Serie A matches, including all of the last three, without conceding.
WORTH THE WAIT | In eight of the last nine top-flight Turin derbies, Juve have scored at least one goal from the 70th minute onwards - in fact, nine out of their 14 goals have been scored in the closing 20 minutes of play.
BULLISH BEHAVIOUR | Torino have found the net in their last four Serie A derbies away but haven't netted in five consecutive games at Juve since the 1960s and 70s. The last away derby match in which the Granata scored more than once dates back to the 3-3 draw on 14 October 2001.
DERBY DAMAGE | Juan Cuadrado has scored three times against Torino in Serie A, all at home, and has provided eight assists - since 2004/05 only Antonio Candreva against Fiorentina (11) and Antonio Cassano against Udinese (nine) have supplied more winning passes against one single opponent in the competition.
CROSSING KOSTIC | On setting up Moise Kean's goal last weekend, Filip Kostić provided his 50th game-winning assist in the Europe's top-five leagues over the last five seasons, fewer than only Thomas Muller, Lionel Messi and Kevin De Bruyne over the same period. This Serie A season alone, the Serbian winger has made 107 crosses from open play, fewer only than Candreva (110).
