Key Points
In the last six encounters between the two Italian clubs, four matches have ended as a draw, while one game each has been won by Torrino and Milan in that period.
Torrino is undefeated in its last six home games against Milan in all competitions.
Daniele Baselli will be one of the main men in midfield for Torino, as Bessali has two assists in four appearances.
Andrea Belotti at centre forward can pose a threat to Milan too as he’s scored two goals in four games so for Torino.
For AC Milan, Mateo Musacchio knows how to play the ball from the back. Though Musacchio hasn’t contributed in terms of goals and assists, his pass success ratio of 93% makes him an asset for Milan.
Hakan Calhanoglu will be one of the top picks for Milan due to his passing range and for him being a dead ball specialist. The Turkish midfielder has scored one goal this season.
