AC Milan vs Torino FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 25/08/2023, 05:19  by Daniel Ngulu in Serie A Predictions

AC Milan will host Torino in the second of their Serie A matches in the 2023/24 season. From Match Day 1, the two sides had contrasting outcomes, leaving Milan fourth and Torino 12th. Milan beat Torino 1-0 in their last meeting and hope to add on to it. Frenchman Olivier Giroud scored the lone goal in that game – his second in five meetings with Torino. Coming into this game Giroud has also been in great form. He scored in the opening game as they beat Bologna 2-0, making it four straight league matches in which he scored. In Milan’s last two home matches in the league, Giroud scored four goals. This is the run he will hope to take to this game. He has struck a good partnership with former Chelsea team mate, Christian Pulisic, which will also boost Milan. The hosts haven't lost a league game at home in the last nine outings. They won six of those.

Torino managed a 0-0 draw with Cagliari in their opening league game of the season. Earlier, they had beaten Feralpisalo 2-1 in the Coppa Italia. Torino’s draw with Cagliari means they’ve failed to score in two straight league matches. That will not do much in terms of boosting their confidence coming into this game. In five league matches against Milan, Torino managed just one clean sheet. Defence is clearly not their strongest point as in the last five matches in all competition they have two clean sheets. Torino actually finished last season strongly when playing away from home. That is the run they will want to extend to their first away match of the season.
