Mid-table Torino play host to city rivals Juventus in the Turin Derby on Saturday afternoon.

Can the visitors do the double over their neighbours, or will Torino secure a long-awaited victory in this fixture?

Odds Now's Torino vs Juventus selection 

Torino have picked up just two wins in their nine home matches so far this term, with Paolo Vanoli's side failing to score in five of those.

They've also not won any of their last five outings at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

In fact, their 1-0 win at Empoli last month is their only victory in their last 10 Serie A outings, regardless of the venue. 

The run has left them 11th in the Italian top-flight, just four points above the relegation zone. 

They prepare to welcome city rivals Juventus who, despite being the only side left in the league who are yet to taste defeat, still find themselves in fifth.

Drawing 11 of their 18 Serie A matches is the main culprit, though only three sides boast better away records than the Old Lady. 

Juventus have won four of their eight matches on the road so far, including a 2-1 win at Monza last time out.

Juventus' Turin Derby dominance

Backing a Torino win is a hard sell, and not only because of their mediocre home form. 

They've been utterly dominated in this fixture over the last decade, having failed to win a single match in their last 21 meetings with their city rivals in all competitions. 

Torino's last win in this fixture dates back to April 2015, with them failing to even score a single goal in six of the last seven derbies played at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to see Juventus come in odds-on favourites at 7/8, then. But I've found a way to boost this price further.

Five of the last seven meetings at the weekend's venue have seen Juventus win by a single goal. There has also been a 0-0 draw during that time.

In fact, low-scoring affairs have been a recurring theme for both of these two in general. 

Juventus' league outings have only averaged 2.5 goals this term, while Torino's have seen even less action at an average of 2.26.

The Old Lady also secured a 2-0 win over Torino at the Allianz Arena in November.

Yet, a Juventus win with under 2.5 goals scored comes in at a very appealing 12/5 with Betfair

Considering Juventus' derby dominance in recent times, coupled with each side's scoring patterns, that price looks like a worthy punt.
