AC Milan vs Torino prediction, odds and preview

Serie A champions AC Milan’s terrible streak continued last weekend with yet another derby loss, and they will look to put an end to it on Friday when they host Torino at San Siro.

The Rossoneri are considerably off the title pace and face a fight to finish inside the top four after dropping four of their last five games after being eliminated by their opponents in the Coppa Italia.

A struggling Milan team was urgently hoping to avoid losing to their city rivals in last Sunday’s Derby della Madonnina, but only a few weeks after suffering a 3-0 setback in the Supercoppa Italiana, they were forced to take another bitter pill.

Milan, a shell of the team that almost defeated Inter to the title last year, is looking for some much-needed break from their woes since following their home game on Friday, they will face Tottenham in the Champions League’s round of 16 and play their fourth straight game at San Siro.

Ivan Juric’s team is now aiming to secure “best of the rest” status, behind the league’s predetermined top six, in the wake of the recent 15-point punishment assessed to old rivals Juventus.
