After already securing the title, Juventus head into the Turin Derby for bragging rights, as Torino are looking to make the Champions League.

Maximilliano Allegri’s team are on 88 points, and winning their last four games would see them finish the campaign on 100 points.

They come into the game having won once in their last five games after a 1-1 draw at the San Siro last weekend as Cristiano Ronaldo got his 600th career goal.

Torino are 6th right now with 56 points, tied with AC Milan. A win would take them level on points with Atalanta in fourth until they play later this weekend.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last six games with three wins and three draws after defeating AC Milan 2-0.

To go along with their six-game unbeaten run, they are also unbeaten in six games away from home.

The Old Lady have won the last four meetings, keeping four clean sheets in that run and most recently won 1-0 away.

Torino are winless in eight trips to the Allianz Stadium.

Team news

Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala, Sami Khedira, and Rodrigo Bentancur are all sidelined for the hosts.

Torino have just one injury concern with Koffi Djidji set to miss out.

Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. on Friday afternoon at the Allianz Stadium. The game will be televised in Canada on TLN and will be streamed on DAZN.
