Read our thoughts on this interesting Serie A Torino vs AC Milan game, here below and get free predictions and betting tips for this game.

During the last 5 meetings these teams finished 4 matches with a draw, and only in the last one Torino took a win. Previously, Milan were an absolute favourite as they were unbeaten since 2002 until the 2019 year Serie A playing against Torino. When the game of Milan began to deteriorate, and Torino, on the contrary, began to play much better, the team’s abilities levelled. Therefore, now every time interesting to watch the confrontation between these clubs.

Torino

Torino had a big chance to play in UEFA Europa League this season.  They passed through several strong opponents during the qualification this summer. However, were unlucky to face Wolves at the Qualification Final. They started Serie A also very strong, as they won against Sassuolo and Atalanta. Unfortunately, during the 3rd round, they surprisingly lost to absolute Serie A outsider Lecce.

At the last weekend, they faced Sampdoria at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, in Genoa. The game was very equal, especially in the first half. Both clubs missed several dangerous shots. In the second half, Gabbiadini scored his first season goal after Lyanco mistake and took first points for the club during this season. In general, Torino lost two matches in a row against very weak start of the season having teams. Perhaps they were affected by the defeat against the Wolves and the fact that they lost the opportunity to play in the Europa League. Since it was a great opportunity to prove themselves and achieve new heights with the team. We hope to see them coming back to their great form playing against one of the most titled teams in Italy.

Unfortunately, Torino will play without Vittorio Parigini and Sasa Lukic due to injuries.

AC Milan

Rossoneri still can’t find their best football even playing now under the new Marco Giampaolo head coach. They failed to qualify to European competitions and should concentrate on fighting for the possible highest position in Serie A. However, they are struggling at the beginning of the season. During the 4 matches, they won 2 against Verona and Brescia and also lost two against Udinese and Inter Milan during the last weekend.

The match against Inter were very unlucky and week as they created much less dangerous moments than their constant rivals. While Internazionale had 9 shots on target, AC Milan had only 2 shots on goal. Lots of shots were deflected and hit the posts. We saw several goals which finished with no goal decision after watching VAR. So in general, Milan could lose with the even bigger result. Lukaku scored a goal once again and now already have 3 goals in 4 matches.

Milan has a big potential, but for some reason, Marco chooses defensive tactics and directs less effort to attack. We believe that they need to be more aggressive in the attack because the team is now in a hopeless situation and they need to score points if they want to be at least in the top five in Italy.

Mattia Caldara and Lucas Paqueta will miss next game due to injuries.
