Torino vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-07 19:45.
[p]AC Milan travel to Torino with their eyes firmly set on one of the tightest title races in Europe, while their hosts battle on to end their dreadful run. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Frustration followed Torino into December as consecutive defeats formed part of a wider five-game wait for a league win (D3, L2), leaving them with fewer points than at this stage of eight of their last ten Serie A campaigns. Marco Baroni’s men start the round just four points clear of the drop zone as a result, and while this fixture looks daunting on paper, their return of two wins from their three games against the pre-round top four offers hope of a revival here. Torino are also yet to lose consecutive home league games this term (W2, D2, L2), albeit both of their defeats overall have come by an 8-1 combined scoreline![/p]
[p]AC Milan will make the short trip to Turin on the back of a 12-game unbeaten run in the league (W8, D4) that’s propelled them to the top of Serie A heading into the weekend. As just one point separates the pre-round top four, the picture could look very different for the Rossoneri as they kick-off last in arguably Europe’s most gripping title race. The Rossoneri may well have had a grip on top spot already if they could have avoided a run of three straight league draws away from the San Siro, although they’ve not played out four straight Serie A stalemates in such games since 1999. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Having lost six of the previous eight H2Hs (W1, D1), Torino are unbeaten in each of their last three league meetings against Milan (W2, D1). Visiting manager Massimiliano Allegri has lost just one of his 23 personal encounters against Torino (W16, D6). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Torino have led just one league game at half-time this season (HT: D6, L6).[/p]
[p]Torino have conceded a pre-round league-high 14 goals before half-time this season[/p]
[p]Milan have conceded a pre-round joint-league low three goals before the break this term. [/p]
[p]Milan have scored first in a joint-league high ten games ahead of the round. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Only against Sassuolo has Duván Zapata scored more in Serie A than his seven goals against Milan, which includes strikes in both of his starts against them as a Torino player. Scorer of a league-high five goals since his first start in round seven, Rafael Leão may prove influential once more for Milan having been involved in five goals previously against Torino (G1, A4). [/p]
[p]Torino may still be without Cristiano Biraghi and Giovanni Simeone, while Milan’s Youssouf Fofana missed their midweek cup defeat. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Milan’s flying form makes it difficult to side with the hosts, but as the Rossoneri don’t tend to blow teams away, we’re going for a Milan win and both teams to score. [/p]
