Torino's woes continued with a 2-1 defeat at Cagliari last weekend. They have now managed only one win in their last five games.
With only one match remaining, the hosts are 10 points above the relegation zone and 15 points behind the European spots. However, despite having nothing to play for in the league, Roberto D'Aversa's men will be eager to ruin their biggest rivals’ chances of securing a UEFA Champions League berth.
Torino will have Tino Anjorin (thigh) and Zakaria Aboukhlal (muscle) unavailable for the last game of the season due to the aforementioned injuries.
While Guillermo Maripan will miss the Turin derby for the hosts because of suspension, Gvidas Gineitis will be available for selection, having served his one-match ban against Cagliari.
On the other hand, Juventus' 11-match unbeaten run ended with a disappointing 2-0 home defeat against Fiorentina on Sunday.
Luciano Spalletti’s men are now sixth in the Italian top flight, two points behind third-placed AC Milan and fourth-placed AS Roma. Although the visitors are guaranteed a top-six spot, they could earn a place in next season's UEFA Champions League with a victory here, but that would depend on the outcome of the games involving Milan, Roma, and Como.
On the positive side, the Old Lady have dominated this derby in the last decade, with their most recent defeat against Torino coming in April 2015.
The league run-in has come with good fortune for Juventus on the injury front, as the visitors make the short trip to Stadio Olimpico without any injury concerns. However, Bremer, who recently earned a place in Brazil's FIFA World Cup squad, is unavailable for the visitors after accumulating the maximum allowable number of yellow cards.

Whispers Predicts: Torino 0-1 Juventus
At 1.49, Juventus are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this encounter.
Despite Torino's impressive run of results at this stadium, the hosts tend to fall short whenever they go up against Juventus. Given that this is a must-win for the visitors, we are confident that the Old Lady will claim all the spoils.
Interestingly, Juventus have been one of the best defensive sides in Serie A of late, keeping five clean sheets in their last seven outings. On that note, we fancy Juventus to win-to-nil at 2.35.
Furthermore, the visitors won three of their last four away games by the same 1-0 scoreline, and this exact result is priced at 7.00.
> Under 2.5 total goals at 2.10 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – No at 1.85 | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result: Juventus at 1.49 | Likelihood: Probable
> Juventus & BTTS – No at 2.35 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct Score: 0-1 at 7.00 | Likelihood: Outsider
