Torino vs AC Milan

The top four race in Serie A continues to thrill, following AC Milan’s 1-1 draw with Parma last week. That has left a six-way battle for two spots, with the Rossoneri currently sitting in fourth. They head into this clash hoping to strengthen their hold on the last Champions League spot, but Torino have other ideas. The hosts are having a thrilling campaign, which has them in the European fight. Can they claim a victory on Sunday night to boost their dreams of fourth?

AC Milan took a hit in midweek, as they lost 1-0 at home to Lazio in their Coppa Italia semi-final. That knocked them out 1-0 on aggregate, a blow in a year where the cup is up for grabs. While the Rossoneri need to focus on the Champions League, not producing against a top-four rival at home is hardly a positive. They now need to bounce back after a bitter cup exit ahead of one of the biggest games of their season.

Torino are the surprise side in the top four race, having moved into seventh after last weekend’s win at Genoa. Their success means that they’re just three points off Milan, with this big clash looming. Il Toro could be level on points with the Rossoneri with the right result here, which would be fully deserved. They are a long way off their rivals in terms of talent, but they are defying expectations with great results.

AC Milan have struggled on the road in recent years, with their record against Serie A’s top sides making for pretty tough reading. That’s the case this year, having won one of their clashes with teams in the top half away from home. That doesn’t give us much faith in them here, especially given the toll the top four race is clearly taking on them. They came up short at home to Lazio on Wednesday, now they need to get back on track against the league’s surprise package. We struggle to see how they’ll do that.

Torino have raced into the top four fight with their strong home form. They’ve won five of the last seven here, which has put them into the European mix. We see them grabbing another win here, with Milan failing to win six of their last seven matches. The Rossoneri’s poor away record and awful form suggests they are vulnerable here, so we have faith in the hosts, who are well priced on the Draw No Bet market.
