Ivan Juric is hopeful of ending the long-standing streak in the Derby della Mole, aiming to secure Torino’s first victory over Juventus in nine years. The match commences at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino at 17:00 UK time (16:00 GMT).

During Juric’s tenure, Torino has suffered conceding nine goals in the Derby della Mole, with seven of them originating from dead ball situations. When questioned about his selection of players with stronger aerial abilities and strategies to limit Juventus’ prowess in set-piece situations, Juric emphasized the challenge of such decisions, highlighting the necessity for his team to compensate with determination and passion.

With expectations mounting for his departure at the end of the season, Juric has yet to secure a victory against Juventus while at the helm of Torino. Expressing the significance of breaking this three-year drought, Juric aims to overcome this hurdle in the upcoming match.

Torino’s last triumph against their arch-rivals Juventus dates back to April 2015, with only four draws achieved in the subsequent 19 competitive encounters.
