AC Milan Form
Defeat to Lazio (0:1) in the last round was already the second in Massimiliano Allegri’s side’s last four matches (two wins), and the third of the season. What is more, in both of those losses Milan failed to find the net, despite being among the five highest-scoring teams in the league. Those slip-ups have proved costly: an eight-point gap to the leaders now looks not just serious, but critical. The advantage over their nearest pursuer has also been cut to a single point.
- At home in the 2025/26 season, the team have recorded eight wins (four draws, two defeats).
- In nine of Milan’s previous league matches, no more than three goals were scored.
- The hosts have not scored more than one goal in their last five home Serie A matches.
Potential AC Milan Lineup (3-5-2)*
Mike Maignan – Koni De Winter, Fikayo Tomori, Strahinja Pavlovic – Davide Bartesaghi, Luka Modric, Samuele Ricci, Zakary Atekame, Ardon Jashari – Christopher Nkunku, Rafael Leao.
Striker Santiago Gimenez and defender Ruben Loftus-Cheek will miss out through injury.
Torino Form
As well as claiming their third win in their last four home matches (one defeat), in last round’s game the Turin side thrashed Parma 4:1, setting a new season-high for goals scored in a single match. The last time they scored more than three goals was in the 2021/22 season. It is also worth highlighting the consistency of Roberto D’Aversa’s men: they have scored in six of their last seven matches, including an away fixture against Napoli. However, even results like these, which look decent enough for a mid-table side, are unlikely to change much. The club currently sit 14th, with a nine-point cushion above the relegation zone.
- In six of Torino’s last seven away league matches, at least one team failed to score.
- Across 14 away games in the current season, the club have managed only three wins (four draws, seven defeats).
- In six of the visitors’ previous away matches, at least two goals were scored.
Potential Torino Lineup (3-5-2)*
Alberto Paleari – Saul Coco, Guillermo Maripan, Luca Marianucci – Marcus Pedersen, Gvidas Gineitis, Nikola Vlasic, Matteo Prati, Zakria Aboukhlal – Che Adams, Giovanni Simeone.
Defender Ardian Ismajli, as well as forwards Che Adams and Zanos Savva, will not feature due to injuries.
