AC Milan preview: Drifting away
AC Milan begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting eight points adrift of league leaders Internazionale, with two of their three defeats this season coming in their last four matches.
The Rossoneri come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to an out of form Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico last weekend due to a 26th minute winner scored by winger Gustav Isaksen.
Torino preview: Improved but mid-table
Roberto D'Aversa's Torino have managed to push themselves away from the bottom three and the relegation places with two victories in their last three matches in Serie A.
The visitors' most recent outing saw them hammer Parma by four goals to one last weekend, courtesy of goals from Giovanni Simeone, Emirhan Ilkhan, Duvan Zapata and a Mandela Keita own goal.

AC Milan vs Torino prediction
Home advantage often works in favour of AC Milan. Massimiliano Allegri will expect to keep things as tight as ever and snatch a goal. Torino have been a bit more entertaining to watch of late but they do have to remain a side that should be quite easy pickings for the hosts, albeit any home win, which is still expected, it still likely to be a low-scoring encounter at San Siro.
AC Milan vs Torino tip: AC Milan to win & under 3.5 goals
