Juventus Set for a Tough Derby della Mole Against Torino
Juventus manager Thiago Motta is bracing for a challenging encounter in the highly anticipated "Derby della Mole" against their city rivals Torino. The match, which is set to take place at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, will be a crucial test for Juventus as they aim to bounce back from a difficult start to 2025. Despite some recent struggles, Motta is determined to approach the game with a sense of optimism while acknowledging the complications of the fixture.
Motta has made it clear that Torino will not be an easy opponent, especially given the intensity and passion that always surrounds this derby. "We expect a complicated match," Motta stated in a recent press conference. He emphasized that Torino's resilience and fighting spirit make them a formidable challenge, and Juventus must be prepared for a battle.

Juventus, still unbeaten in Serie A, enters this match following a frustrating 1-1 draw against Torino earlier this season, a game in which they struggled to convert their dominance into a win. Motta expressed his frustration after the match, particularly at how Juventus allowed Torino to equalize in the final moments of the first half. "We need to be more aggressive in such situations. We allowed them to create dangerous chances, and that is something we must address moving forward," Motta explained.
The match is particularly important for Juventus, as they aim to keep pace in the tight Serie A standings. While Juventus has only lost two games out of 27 this season, they have dropped valuable points, especially after leading in several matches. Motta is confident that with a more clinical approach, his team can avoid further slip-ups. "We must be more aggressive and precise in front of goal," he added.
Juventus’ young squad, still dealing with several injuries, will need to dig deep and show resilience. Motta has praised the performances of players like Douglas Luiz, who has been instrumental despite the challenges of injuries. “Douglas has been excellent,” Motta remarked, highlighting his vital contributions in midfield. The team is also eagerly awaiting the return of Andrea Cambiaso, who has been struggling with fitness issues but is pushing through to help his teammates.
As Juventus prepares for this exciting fixture, they know the stakes are high. The game will not only provide a chance to secure bragging rights in Turin but also serve as a crucial moment to stabilize their season and build momentum for the challenges ahead. Motta’s approach, while focused on the tactical side of the game, is also about keeping the team mentally strong. "We’ve had our fair share of setbacks, but we must focus on improving and giving our best," he stated.
With a mix of experienced players and emerging talents, Juventus will need to be at their best if they are to overcome Torino in what promises to be an intense and hard-fought Derby della Mole.
