Torino make the short trip east to face Milan at the San Siro on Saturday afternoon. Il Toro’s opening fixture of the season against Cagliari finished goalless, so fans will be hoping for a more entertaining match this weekend.
Unfortunately for Ivan Juric’s team, they face a tricky Milan team on Saturday who have strengthened significantly over the summer. The Rossoneri barely needed to get out of first gear in order to beat Bologna on Monday night and are favourites to take all three points at the San Siro.
The visitors should not be written off however, as Torino have won two of their last three meetings with Milan despite going into all of these games as underdogs. Juric has ensured that his team have remained defensively compact using set pieces and counter-attacks effectively. Punters looking for better odds may well consider a wager on the Granata to cause an upset.
La Granata’s defensive prowess was in evidence last season as the fifth-best in the league, and this has been reflected in their recent games with Milan. The Rossoneri have scored just three goals in their past five encounters with Juric’s side, so a bet on under 2.5 goals may pay off.
With such a strong focus on preventing their opponents from scoring, Torino have struggled to commit enough resources to attacking. As a result, despite their success in keeping Milan at bay, they’ve only scored in two of the aforementioned games, with a bet on one team to score paying off in four of those matches.
Despite past fixtures providing clear indicators of what could take place on Saturday, new variables have been entered into the equation with Milan’s summer arrivals. New boy Christian Pulisic linked up well with his former Chelsea teammate Olivier Giroud on Monday to score the second goal against Bologna. The winger looked sharp considering his limited pre-season and we back the American to continue his strong start in Italy by bagging once again on Saturday afternoon.

Milan team news
Stefano Pioli has plenty of decisions to make ahead of Saturday’s game, with no shortage of new faces to choose from. Yunus Musah will compete with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders in midfield, while Christian Pulisic, Samuel Chukwueze, Noah Okafor, Lorenzo Colombo and Luka Romero all hope to feature in the front three. Rafael Leao will undoubtedly have the left wing locked down, while Olivier Giroud may well retain his place up front.
Torino team news
Ivan Juric’s starting XI will be familiar to Torino fans, with the only key change being the departure of Wilfred Singo and the arrival of Raoul Bellanova in his place. The Granata will stick to a three-man defence, with the only other decision being whether to start Ricardo Rodriguez or Koffi Djidji.
