AC Milan would be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season as they welcome Torino to the San Siro on Tuesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
The Rossoneri have won the last five meetings with the Turin based side and lead the way on the head-to-head side of things having managed 21 wins compared to Torino's measly three victories across 40 matchups.
Tight at the top of the Serie A standings
Following another tough European night last midweek, AC Milan were keen on getting back to winning ways so as not to lose sight of Napoli who are still at the top of the Serie A standings. They did have a good start in the game away at Bologna last weekend, however, the home side didn't back down as they came back from two goals down to draw level. The game at the Renato Dal'Arra swung back in the visitors' favour as they saw their opponents get another red card and were now down to nine men. They duly capitalized on this advantage with Ibrahimovic and Bennacer netting to secure a 4-2 victory. Napoli's 100% record came to an end last weekend, leaving them level on points with the Rossoneri which means we could see Milan at the summit of the standings if they win on Tuesday albeit temporarily.
Torino's defensive solidity has improved drastically compared to previous seasons as they head into this Matchday 10 fixture with the 4th best defensive record in the division- shipping 10 goals. They have failed to match this energy in the attacking third as we've seen the Turin-based outfit score 12 goals so far. Nonetheless, we saw them secure their first win since September with a hard-fought victory at home against Genoa-a Josip Brekalo strike on the 77th-minute mark clinching them maximum points. Would we see them use this momentum to disrupt Milan's aim of climbing to the top of the standings ?
