Torino vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-02-21 17:00.
[p]A 3-2 defeat at Bologna last weekend extended Torino’s frustrating run of form to just one win in nine Serie A matches (D6, L2), leaving them at least five points worse off than at the same stage of the last three seasons. Staring down the barrel of another mid-table finish, the Granata are closer to the relegation zone than the top-six in terms of points, despite being six places from either. [/p]
[p]Paolo Vanoli’s side are unbeaten in their last four home league outings (W1, D3), which complements their recent home record against AC Milan, as the hosts seek a third consecutive home win against the Rossoneri for the first time since 1977. Securing that victory won’t be easy, as while they’re unbeaten here against sides below them, Torino have won just one home league game against teams beginning the round above them (D2, L4). [/p]
[p]While visitors AC Milan are unbeaten in four Serie A matches after a 1-0 win over Verona last weekend (W3, D1), the mood around the San Siro is bleak after a midweek UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of Feyenoord. Theo Hernandez was sent off with the Rossoneri well placed in that tie, receiving his second yellow card for simulation, with that prompting a flurry of reports that the Frenchman is all set for a summer exit.[/p]
[p]Manager Sérgio Conceição will look to calm the storm and build on his superb start in the league that’s seen his side pick up just one point fewer than league leaders Napoli since his arrival at the end of 2024. A return of three wins from their last four league trips suggests that resurgence can continue here (L1), while Milan also boast a decent record on their travels against those beginning this round below them in the table (W4, D1, L1).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: ChĂ© Adams scored first with two of his last four Torino goals, although seven of his eight club strikes since moving to Italy have come beyond half-time. Christian Pulisic has been a reliable source of goals for Milan this season with 12 in all competitions – each of his last four served as equalisers, and he also scored against Torino in league action last season. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Milan have avoided defeat in four of their nine league games when conceding the opener this season (W2, D2, L5). [/p]
