Juventus had their top-four hopes in their own hands until a surprise 2-0 home defeat to Fiorentina in the penultimate round of fixtures.
The Old Lady need to beat their Turin rivals on Sunday and hope other results go in their favour if they are to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Torino have had a mixed Serie A campaign and this is a dead-rubber for them, aside from local bragging rights, but they have been in good form at home and will feel capable of ending the season on a relative high by at least denying Juve a win.

Alternative Bet - Giovanni Simeone to score anytime @ 7/2
Bet Builder - Giovanni Simeone 2+ shots on target, Manuel Locatelli to be booked, Francisco Conceicao 1+ shots on target @ 40/1
Torino v Juventus Prediction
Best Bet: Torino or draw double chance @ 11/8
Juventus were absolutely flying until the last round of games but that 2-0 loss to Fiorentina could prove to be a costly defeat as Derby della Mole rivals Torino should be up for this clash despite having little to play for.
Juve were on an `11-game unbeaten run prior to that defeat to La Viola but they have now won just one of their last four, and their road form in general hasn’t been particularly impressive with just four wins in their last 11 trips across all competitions.
This has been an incredibly one-sided rivalry in recent years as Il Toro haven’t beaten the Bianconeri since 2015 and that success ended a 20-year winless streak.
Torino are 21/4 for the win on Sunday and that may be a big ask, but they can at least avoid defeat as they have been holding their own in recent meetings with three draws in the last four meetings - including a 0-0 stalemate in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Torino are on a five-game unbeaten run at home (W4, D1) and that period has included a victory over Lazio and a draw with champions Inter Milan.
Juve have failed to win at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in each of the last two seasons and the hosts can at least take a point on Sunday.
Alternative Bet: Giovanni Simeone to score anytime @ 7/2
Giovanni Simeone is Torino’s leading scorer this season in Serie A with 11 goals and that is largely thanks to an end-of-season flourish that has seen him hit six goals in his last 11 games.
All of those strikes have come in Il Toro’s last six home games, and the Argentine forward can score in his seventh consecutive home assignment when Juve visit on Sunday.
Torino v Juventus Bet Builder Tip
- Giovanni Simeone 2+ shots on target
- Manuel Locatelli to be booked
- Francisco Conceicao 1+ shots on target
Pays 40/1
We’re backing Giovanni Simeone to score but the better angle for this bold Bet Builder could be backing him to record at least two shots on target.
Simeone is shooting with an accuracy rate of just under 40% for the season and he’s had at least four shots in total in each of his last four home appearances. Four or more attempts for Simeone should be enough for him to get at least two of those on target.
Juventus are the team in greater need and that could lead to a bit of desperation at times and potentially a couple of cards being dished out.
Manuel Locatelli is an obvious pick for a booking for the visitors as he has nine yellow cards for the season - including three in his last five games.
Francisco Conceicao has only scored three Serie A goals this season but he probably should have a few more. The Juve forward averages over two shots per game and 0.8 per game on target, he can at least test the keeper in Sunday’s derby.
