Thursday night brings us action from the Italian top flight with a clash between Torino and AC Milan in Serie A as the betting tips continue at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Torino Prediction – Can Torino avoid third defeat on trot?
Thursday night’s hosts in this mid-table clash against AC Milan, Torino, come into this important encounter looking to avoid a third league defeat on the trot in the Italian top flight following recent back-to-back losses against Lecce and Sampdoria.
This new Serie A season had started brightly enough for Torino who had collected back-to-back wins in the Italian top flight to start their new campaign off with a bang with victories over Sassuolo 2-1 at home and a 3-2 win away at Atalanta.
However, having lost their last two matches on the trot, the hosts will be desperate to put up a better showing on home turf at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Thursday evening, where the hosts have won 5 of their last 7 matches in recent times.
The bigger picture shows us that Torino are a force to be reckoned with on home soil as the hosts have won 11 of their last 15 matches at home in Serie A, while they’re unbeaten in their last 6 meetings at home against AC Milan – a sequence that consists of 5 draws and 1 win.
AC Milan Prediction – Can AC Milan bounce back?
A bitterly disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to fierce local rivals, Inter Milan, saw the visitors being handed a local derby defeat last weekend and they’ll now be keen to avoid back-to-back defeats when they travel to Torino on Thursday night.
The visitors have posted mixed results so far in the early stages of this new Serie A campaign having registered wins against Brescia and Hellas Verona, these have been offset by recent defeats to Udinese and local rivals, Inter Milan.
With just 2 defeats out of their last 8 matches overall though in the domestic top flight, Marco Giampaolo’s side are still a serious threat both home and away, as they’ve recorded 3 wins out of their last 4 matches on their travels too.
Wins at Fiorentina, SPAL and Hellas Verona mean that AC Milan need to be respected here, especially as the bigger picture indicates that AC Milan have lost just 4 of their last 16 away matches in Serie A.
Key-Facts – Torino v AC Milan
- Torino have won 11 of their last 15 matches at home in Serie A
- AC Milan have lost just 4 of their last 16 away matches in Serie A
- 5 of the last 6 meetings between Torino and AC Milan have ended in draws in Torino
Betting Tips Verdict
Torino have been hard to beat at home while AC Milan have been stubborn on their travels – this could therefore end in stalemate here.
