Torino vs AC Milan Prediction and Preview – 17/10/15
Serie A preview – Torino vs AC Milan prediction
Torino boss Giampiero Ventura is still without first choice midfielders Bruno Peres and Danilo Avelar due to injury, therefore Davide Zappacosta and Cristian Molinaro should keep their places in the team. The likes of Alexander Farnerud, Pontus Jansson and Nikola Maksimovic are also out.
AC Milan can call upon Philippe Mexes once more and the Frenchman may slot straight back in to a defence which as been struggling to keep clean sheets this season. Striker Mario Balotelli has been struggling with injury but has an outside chance of making the squad for Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Possible Line-ups
Torino: 3-5-2 formation: Padelli; Bovo, Glik, Moretti; Zappacosta, Vives, Baselli, Gazzi, Molinaro; Quagliarella, Lopez
AC Milan: 4-3-1-2 formation: Lopez; De Sciglio, Zapata, Mexes, Antonelli; Montolivo, Bertolacci, Kucka; Bonaventura; Bacca, Adriano

Prediction
Torino had made a promising start to the season, however, they were brought back down to earth by a 2-1 defeat at Carpi before the international break. It’s been their away form which has prevented them from being further up the Serie A table but at home, Torino have been superb. They have won all 3 of their home Serie games, scoring an average of 2.3 goals per game in wins over Sampdoria, Palermo and Fiorentina.
It’s been a very shaky and uncertain start to the season for AC Milan under new manager Sinia Mihajlovic. The addition of players such as Luiz Adriano, Carlos Bacca, Alessio Romagnoli and Andrea Bertolacci, was supposed to kick-start their season but so far, there has been no sign of progress. Milan have lost 4 of their 7 Serie games this season and have conceded 13 goals in the process. Only Carpi have a worse defensive record.
Torino have been strong at home this season and with Milan struggling to find any kind of form, the home side will fancy their chances of victory.
