Predictions 17-19. 02-2022

Juventus vs Torino | Serie A (18.02.2022, 20:45)

Fourteen points separate Juventus and Turin on the eve of the Derby della Mola number 2 in the 2021/2022 season. After the first leg, won by the “bianconeri” at the Stadio Olimpico 1-0, this time the game will be played at the Allianz Stadium, the home field of Massimiliano Allegri’s team, which presents itself for this match after the 1-1 draw in Bergamo against Atalanta, grabbed in the final minutes thanks to Danilo and a few days before the delicate first leg of the Champions League round of 16 at Villarreal.  

On the other hand, Torinos’ last league match at home against Venezia saw the goal of a possible 2-2 canceled due to a highly questionable intervention, handing the three points to the hosts. Torino are in the middle of the table and have one game less. At Juve, the aforementioned Danilo will be missing due to disqualification, as well as Chiesa and Chiellini due to injury. Torino without Edera, Fares, and Praet.

Torino LWWDLL

Torino will be looking to rebound after suffering a Serie A setback to Venezia last time out.

Venezia had five shots on goal, two of which were on target, against them. Venezia scored two goals through Ridgeciano Haps (38′) and Domen Crnigoj (46′).

Torino has been scored against in five of their previous six games, resulting in a total of seven goals conceded. Torino has struggled defensively this season.

  • In 6 of the last 8 league away games, Torino has never managed to score.
  • In five of their last seven home league games, Juventus have not conceded a goal.
  • Juventus have beaten Torino at home in 4 of the last 5 direct clashes between Serie A and the Italian Cup.

Injured and suspended

Juventus vs Torino Predicted XI

Juventus Predicted XI: Szczesny; Cuadrado, Bonucci, De Ligt, De Sciglio; McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot; Dybala, Vlahovic, Morata

Torino Predicted XI: Savic; Zima, Bremer, Rodriguez; Singo, Linetty, Lukic, Vojvoda; Pjaca, Sanabria, Brekalo

 

Prediction

We are aiming for Juventus’ success in the derby. Juventus have a better quality staff. They are solid at home and have picked up 7 wins in the last 8 official matches. Toro has seven defeats in its last nine league games played away from home.

Juventus will almost certainly be able to create a large number of opportunities and successful attempts on goal. Torino, on the other hand, will find it difficult to score their own goal, despite the fact that we believe they will.

As a result, we believe Juventus will win by a comfortable 3-1 score after everything is said and done.

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur | Premier League (19.02.2022, 18:30)

Manchester City and Tottenham have different Palindrome numbers in the league standings, with City having 63 points and Tottenham having 36. Significant numbers tell us of the great gap that exists on the eve of the 26th day of the Premier League. The City of Pep Guardiola comes to us in great shape after having already mortgaged the passage to the quarter-finals of the Champions League thanks to the 5-0 trimmed to Sporting Lisbon in the first leg of the round of 16, and the Citizens have been successful in the last 4 games in a row across all competitions. 

On the contrary, Antonio Conte’s Tottenham have taken 3 losses in a row in the Premier League. In between, the FA Cup victory against Brighton & Hove Albion (3-1) Manchester City are missing Palmer and Mendy, and there are questions about Gabriel Jesus, Steffen, and Grealish. In Tottenham, with the always absent Tanganga, doubts are linked to Dier and Skipp.

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted XI: Lloris; Sanchez, Romero, Davies; Doherty, Winks, Bentancur, Reguilon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

 

Prediction

Manchester City are the favorites in this challenge. They impressed with the ease of play in the 5-0 at Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, and with Tottenham in clear difficulty, they will most likely dominate possession and create a number of successful opportunities.

Tottenham must convert their games in hand into points or risk missing out on a place in the top four. At the moment, the home team appears untouchable, while Tottenham must break their losing record at some point.

As a result, we expect Manchester City to win by a comfortable 3-1 margin by the time the referee blows the final whistle.
