AC Milan host Torino in one of the most exciting games of the opening day of the new Serie A campaign. The match kicks off on Saturday evening at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
The hosts have enjoyed a strong pre-season campaign. They’ve managed three wins and a draw in the last four exhibitions despite facing the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona in the process.
Their latest success came four days ago in the Silvio Berlusconi Trophy with a 3-1 victory over Monza.
The Rossoneri ended the last season as runners-up but they were nowhere near their arch city rivals in the battle for the trophy.
AC Milan are looking to change this after the appointment of Paulo Fonseca as the new head coach. This match will represent Fonseca’s managerial debut in Serie A.
Torino have already been in competitive action last weekend. They dispatched lower-division Cosenza 2-0.
AC Milan vs Torino Prediction
Torino ended the last season in 9th place but a top-half finish was not enough for Ivan Juric to keep his place on the bench.
The Toro appointed Paolo Vanoli as the new head coach. The team looked great in the pre-season under new manager, winning three of the last four games this summer.
That said, getting a result against the likes of AC Milan on the road will require something special. AC Milan have 19 wins, 7 draws, and just 1 defeat in the last 27 home affairs against the Toro.
