Torino have already given new boss Ignazio Abate a winning start, defeating Serie B side Carrarese 1-0 in the Coppa Italia.
The former Milan player now faces the much bigger task of pushing Il Toro beyond the mid-table positions that have become familiar in recent seasons.
Home form could give Torino reason for optimism. They have avoided defeat in their last six Serie A matches on their own turf, recording four wins and two draws.
Abate will therefore hope his side can use that run to cause an upset against his former club.
They will also look to take encouragement from their head-to-head meetings with Milan, having lost only once in their last five Serie A meetings.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are also starting over, with Ruben Amorim taking charge following his disappointing spell at Manchester United.
The Rossoneri have plenty to put right after finishing fifth and missing out on Champions League qualification in the previous campaign.
Milan lost seven of their final 13 Serie A matches, recording only five victories and one draw during that stretch.
With the new season kicking off this weekend, the visitors have not had a decent pre-season, having managed only one win in their last five games.
Their only win in pre-season came against Amorim’s former club, Manchester United, defeating the Premier League side 4-2.
Both teams therefore arrive with plenty to prove, making this an intriguing opening-day encounter between two clubs hoping their new managers can quickly deliver a change in fortunes.
