FC TorinoMatch Preview
Italian giant’s AC Milan host Torino at San Siro this weekend, with the home side looking to recover from a defeat to league leaders Napoli last time around. Despite their opponents having only won one of their last five domestic matches, the visitors should still provide a stern test for Montella’s side, with little separating the duo in the betting odds before kick-off. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with AC Milan.
AC Milan Team News & Form
Having lost out 2-1 to Serie A leaders Napoli last time around, AC Milan will be hoping to return to winning ways when they host Torino. Despite having spent over £100 million over the summer, Milan have failed to find any form of consistency so far this season, with Montella’s side having already lost six times in Serie A. A lack of goals have certainly effected the home side, with Milan having scored just 19 goals from their 12 matches. As a result, the pressure is mounting on the likes of Nikola Kalinic and Andre Silva to start finding the back of the net on a regular basis following their arrivals at the San Siro. Former Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci should continue at the back for the home side, while Spanish international Suso will be one of their biggest threats in the final third.
Torino Team News & Form
Torino’s struggles continue in Serie A, with manager Sinisa Mihajlović having seen his side struggle to a 1-1 draw with Chievo last time around. Despite having drawn their last two outings, Torino still sit just a point behind Milan leading into the clash, with the visitors having lost just three times all season. Despite struggling in front of goal so far this season, Captain Andrea Belotti should once again lead the line, with M’Baye Niang unable to play against his parent club. Meanwhile, on-loan Juventus midfielder Tomas Rincon will be looking to get one over on Milan at the San Siro.
Head to Head
The two teams have met 18 times in the past, with Torino still searching for a first win against Milan. AC Milan have ten wins to their name, including a 3-2 success at the San Siro last season.
