AC Milan have just found themselves a nice bit of form and they are favourites at the San Siro to deliver the win in this Coppa Italia Quarter Final.
They are squaring off against Torino who did claim a league win over the Rossoneri earlier this season. But they have been struggling to pick up wins in recent form.

Rising form of AC Milan can take the tie
After a season of stutters and inconsistencies, AC Milan seems to have found their groove recently. They have suffered just one loss in their last ten games across all competitions. They are currently running on a four-match winning streak. Included in that run was their 3-0 home success over Spal in the last round of the Coppa Italia.
Notably, AC Milan have taken a clean sheet in five of their last seven games, home and away combined, across all competitions. So that does indicate that they may be able to keep Torino at arm’s length. It is currently a five-match unbeaten streak of home form that they are on, winning their last two at the San Siro. AC Milan have scored exactly three goals in their last two home games.
Going back to their defensive output, they have taken a clean sheet in three of their last four games at the San Siro. The winner of this tie will move ahead to beat Juventus in the semi-finals. In last season’s competition, AC Milan were losing semi-finalists, being edged out by Lazio. Between them, Ante Rebic and Theo Hernandez have scored AC Milan’s last five goals (3 and 2 respectively).
Torino to come up short in cup tie
Torino have lost their last two games. On the weekend they took an absolute bruising in suffering a 7-0 home defeat against Atalanta. Torino had both Armando Izzo and Sasa Lukic sent off in the final fifteen minutes, but only conceded two goals after that. That embarrassing loss leaves them with only two wins in their last seven games in all competitions (D2 L3).
In the last round of the Coppa Italia, Torino were up against Genoa in a home fixture. That ended in a 1-1 draw after extra time (Torino had a player sent off in that game as well) but they prevailed 5-3 on penalties. So there has not been any convincing stuff produced by them recently. But in the bigger picture, their away form has actually improved lately.

At one point of the season, Torino lost four away games on the bounce. But they have responded since then with a W3 D1 L1 record on their travels. They have hit the back of the net in each of their last five on the road, collecting a clean sheet in three of those. Torino have come a step further than they managed last season when they were beaten in the round of sixteen by Roma. Torino earned a 2-1 league win over Milan in September last year and are unbeaten in six against them (W2 D4).
AC Milan vs Torino Betting Advice
Torino have the head to head form over AC Milan, not losing in their last six against them. However, it was Milan who won the last Coppa Italia meeting which was back in January 2017. Going into this one it is the Rossoneri who look the more convincing.
