Match preview
This is Juventus’s final home fixture of the Europa League league phase, arriving in late January as the Bianconeri look to finish the group stage strongly under Luciano Spalletti before the competition moves into its knockout rounds. A visit from a well-organised La Liga side like Real Sociedad is a good test of Juventus’s ability to close out a European campaign with control and composure at the Allianz Stadium.
Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad travel to Turin under new head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, appointed in 2026. The American-born, German-raised manager built his reputation in the Bundesliga, leading VfB Stuttgart to promotion before an extended spell in charge of Hoffenheim that included Europa League qualification, and Sociedad will be hoping his organised, high-intensity approach can trouble a Juventus side accustomed to controlling home European nights.
Head-to-head history
| Meetings | 2 |
|---|---|
| Juventus wins | 1 |
| Draws | 1 |
| Real Sociedad wins | 0 |
Juventus and Real Sociedad met twice in the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League group stage, with Juventus winning 4–2 at home and the return fixture in San Sebastián finishing goalless. Juventus remain unbeaten in both previous European meetings between the clubs, though this will be their first encounter in more than 20 years and their first ever in the Europa League.
Getting to the Allianz Stadium
The Allianz Stadium sits in the Continassa district on the northwestern edge of Turin, about 15–20 minutes from the city centre. The easiest route for visitors is Turin’s GTT metro Line 1 to Fermi station, followed by a short walk or connecting bus toward the stadium; on matchdays, extra shuttle buses also run from the city centre. If you’re flying in, Turin Airport (Caselle) is around 20 minutes by car or taxi from the stadium, making it a convenient base for a short match trip. Allow plenty of time before kick-off, as security checks can create queues at the main entrances.
Seating & stadium guide
The Allianz Stadium is a compact, all-seater bowl with excellent sightlines from every tier. The Curva Sud and Curva Nord house the most vocal home support, while the Tribuna Est and Tribuna Ovest run along the sides and offer the best views for neutral or visiting fans wanting a broader perspective of the pitch. For a late-January European night, seats in the lower tiers close to the pitch give the most atmospheric experience, while upper-tier seats offer a fuller view of the tactical shape of the game.
Where to stay in Turin
Turin’s city centre — around Porta Nuova, Piazza San Carlo and Via Roma — offers the best mix of hotels, restaurants and easy transport links to the Allianz Stadium, typically a 15–20 minute metro or taxi ride away. Travellers who want to stay closer to the ground can look at hotels near the Continassa or Vinovo areas, though options are more limited than in the centre. Late-January fixtures fall outside peak tourist season, so hotel availability is usually more forgiving, though it’s still worth booking ahead for a midweek European night.
Getting around & sightseeing
Turin is a compact, walkable city with an efficient metro and tram network, making it easy to combine a matchday with some sightseeing. Beyond the stadium, highlights include the Mole Antonelliana and its cinema museum, the Egyptian Museum (one of the largest collections outside Cairo), the Baroque Piazza San Carlo, and the Parco del Valentino along the Po river. Turin Airport connects the city to most major European hubs, and the main Porta Nuova and Porta Susa train stations offer fast connections to Milan for those extending their trip.
