Milan’s title challenge is beginning to slip away as they welcome Torino, knowing they cannot afford any more dropped points if they are to stay in contention.
A disappointing 1–0 loss to Lazio last weekend dealt a blow to Milan’s ambitions, especially after Inter had dropped points against Atalanta.
Sixteen of Milan’s Serie A matches this season have ended in a draw at half-time.
That setback leaves the Rossoneri eight points off the top spot, while also keeping them under pressure from Napoli just behind.
Also, their recent performances at home have been mixed, with just three wins in their last seven matches, suggesting this fixture may not be as straightforward as it appears.
Conversely, Torino arrive with renewed confidence following a convincing 4–1 win over Parma, matching their biggest victory of the season.
That result also made it two wins from their last three games, helping them open up a comfortable nine-point gap above the relegation zone.
Torino have let in two or more goals in ten of their last 13 matches across all competitions.
However, consistency remains an issue, as they have rarely been able to string together positive results. Their struggles away from home are another concern, with four defeats in their last five league trips.
Facing top-tier opposition on the road has also proven difficult, with losses in all such encounters this season, including a heavy defeat to Inter at San Siro.
