"AC Milan make the trip to Turin to face Torino on Monday night, hoping to overturn what is a dreadful recent record in this fixture. Milan have won only one of their last 12 away league games against the Granata, and that was a 0-7 victory back in May 2021. Not only that, but they come into the game off the back of a second defeat of the campaign, having lost in the Coppa Italia last-16 to Lazio on Thursday."
"It starts in the midfield where there will be a duel between two friends and team-mates at international level: Nikola Vlasic and Luka Modric. Modric's importance to Milan needs no explanation as he has become arguably the most crucial cog in the team, with the lack of creativity evident in the defeat to Lazio. Vlasic is an opponent he knows well, and he has a couple of goal contributions for Torino this season,"
AC Milan travel to Turin aiming to overcome a poor recent record at Torino and reclaim the Serie A lead. The Rossoneri have won only one of their last 12 away league matches against the Granata, a 0-7 victory in May 2021, and they arrive after a Coppa Italia defeat to Lazio. Milan maintain a 12-game unbeaten league run and must manage doubts over Christian Pulisic plus absences for Santiago Gimenez, Youssouf Fofana and Zachary Athekame. Both teams are expected to use a 3-5-2, producing key individual battles such as Nikola Vlasic versus Luka Modric and Marcus Pedersen versus Davide Bartesaghi.
