A city derby is always special. But when one side’s Champions League dreams hang by a single thread — and their fiercest rivals hold the scissors — it becomes something unforgettable. On Sunday, May 24, 2026, Torino host Juventus in the Derby della Mole, in what is historically the first ever Turin derby to be played on Serie A’s final matchday. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Why This Derby Could Define Juventus’ Season

Juventus were coasting towards the top four just weeks ago. Then came a shock 2-0 home defeat to mid-table Fiorentina — ending an 11-game unbeaten run at the worst possible moment. Now, sitting 6th and level on 68 points with Como but behind Milan and Roma, Juve must win this derby and hope for favourable results elsewhere. It’s a near-miracle scenario, but football has delivered stranger things.

Manager Luciano Spalletti — recently handed a contract extension — knows that missing the Champions League for the second time in four seasons would be a massive blow to Juventus’ rebuild. The pressure on Sunday evening is immense.

Torino, meanwhile, are safe in 12th and confirmed safety back in April. They have no European ambitions at stake — but they would love nothing more than spoiling Juve’s night. And history shows that derbies are never predictable, regardless of form.

Form Guide & Key Stats

Torino have won just 1 of the last 39 Serie A derbies against Juventus — and that win came 11 years ago. The historical weight is heavily in Juve’s favour. However, Giovanni Simeone has scored six times against Juventus in Serie A — and is on a run of scoring in all five of his last home matches.

Team News & Probable Lineups

Juventus travel without Bremer (suspended), Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik (both injured). Khephren Thuram is a late fitness test — Teun Koopmeiners covers if needed. Vlahovic leads the attack, flanked by Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz (10 league goals this season).

Torino welcome back Gvidas Gineitis from suspension but lose Guillermo Maripan (yellow card accumulation). Ardian Ismajli (hamstring) is a fitness doubt. Tino Anjorin and Zakaria Aboukhlal remain sidelined.

Torino XI (probable): Paleari; Coco, Ismajli, Ebosse; Pedersen, Gineitis, Prati, Obrador; Vlasic; Zapata, Simeone

Juventus XI (probable): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Koopmeiners; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; Vlahovic

Prediction: Torino 0-2 Juventus

Juventus have been defensively solid — seven clean sheets in ten games — and face a Torino side with the leakiest defence in Serie A. The desperation of a club of Juve’s stature fighting for Champions League football should fuel a dominant performance. They win the Derby della Mole, but whether the miracles required elsewhere happen is another story entirely.

The Derby della Mole is one of Italian football’s oldest and most passionate rivalries, dating back to 1906 — making Sunday’s final-day staging a genuinely historic occasion.
