Player(s) to watch:
- Dusan Vlahovic has hit the ground running for Juventus this season, scoring six goals in the league and three in the UEFA Champions League to take his tally to nine. Vlahovic has looked like a real threat this season using his pace, precision, and ability to score from anywhere in the attacking area with his thunderous left foot.
- Samuele Ricci has become a vital cog of this Torino side after experiencing a rapid rise in his career after recent heroics for club and country. He is very much crucial to how the Maroons play as he controls the tempo of the game for them. Ricci also does the defensive work efficiently keeping it neat and tidy in the middle of the park.
