My 2nd match thread in a row, lets hope we win again.

This could be an opportunity. Juve are away at Atalanta and Napoli go to Milan, so we could gain points on our rivals. It won't be an easy game, but hopefully some of our injured players will be ready. Lets get this done.

This has always been a tricky fixture for us. We haven't won at Comunale since 2015 with a Kondogbia goal. Even though it's a forum cliche, this is going to be a test of character for the team.

It's gonna be a tough game. Similar to Cagilari.

Will just say that we also hadn't won at Mapei in quite some time and finally turned that around this season, so maybe there's some real hope for this time to be different as well.

This is probably my least favorite fixture of any season, other than the Atalanta one.

Twelve days is a long time to wait. Hopefully, our injured players will have fully recovered their fitness as we need everyone on board.

Torino trashed Brescia but they've otherwise been very underwhelming compared to last season.

Naturally when a team has a very encouraging year like Torino did, fans and observers expect to build upon that success but it's always quite unpredictable. In 2018/19 they lost only 7 games which was joint 2nd for least losses after juve. This season they've already lost 6 times in the first 12 games. Likewise, Cagliari finished 15th last season. Who'd have thought they'd go 10 games without defeat and sit in 4th place a third of the way through the season.

Not much point making predictions considering the 2 week break but we've been perfect on the road so far. Torino have only won 2 of their 6 home games and before their 4-0 victory over Brescia, who are dead last, they'd scored just 11 goals in 11 games.

Hoping the boys get some much needed rest during the break and that Conte makes some improvements on the defence. I expect us to dispatch Torino as things stand.

Vital game as we play Slavia away just 4 days later which is a must win.
Hopefully we have more guys back from injury and deal with that. Torino is a tough ground but they are not consistent. Lecce managed a 2-1 win in there but neither Napoli nor Milan (lol) got three points there.

Rube got three points there. By a De Ligt goal after a De Ligt unsanctioned handball in rube's box.

Won't be easy, let's take a second to appreciate that we are a third through the season and only drew and lost once.

Don't let the media talk about crises after a single loss we are having a great season.

Bastoni got injured in the training with the U21. Great start, and it's only the first day of the national break. :eek:blivious:
