Tonight’s Derby della Mole could be Andrea Belotti’s final chance to achieve derby glory with Torino against Juventus.
The 28-year-old Italian forward, who is making his first start for the Granata since the loss to Roma back in October, has a depressing record against Juventus. He has faced them 15 times with both Torino and Palermo, scoring three goals in the process. In those 15 matches, he has only been a part of three draws and 12 losses, failing to win a single time.
Belotti’s contract expires with Torino at the end of this season, so this could be his final chance to pick up a derby win with the Granata before departing in June. This may be a tall task, however, considering that Torino have only beaten the Old Lady once in their last 27 meetings.
The Italian forward has only scored two goals in 10 Serie A appearances this campaign, missing 14 league matches due to injury.
