AC Milan are set to face Torino in the next hours. It is matchday 32 for the Rossoneri with coach Stefano Pioli looking to lead his team out of the dark tunnel. Three points are needed and the hope for the fans is that the players will show more accuracy up front.
There will be a lot of eyes on tonight's match. The Milan fans want to see their side snatch three points no matter the cost while rival fans like those of Napoli and Inter will also be waiting to see if Torino will be able to get a positive result at home.
Torino - AC Milan: important duels await...
As already explained, there will be important challenges in the match:
- Fikayo Tomori vs Andrea Belotti: The English centre-back wants to continue on impressing and proving himself as one of the best central defenders in Serie A at the moment, if not the best. It will be an important test for him against the seasoned Italian forward of Torino who is looking to score against the team he used to cheer for as a child. Belotti, in fact, also wants to close some distance to reach 100 goals in the Serie A competition
- Olivier Giroud vs Gleison Bremer: This is the second duel of the game. The French centre-forward wants to help his teammates get the win by scoring or even giving an assist to one of his teammate. However, he will certainly be having a difficult time facing Bremer. It's a hard task, but definitely not impossible. Giroud had already scored before against Torino in the first leg of the Serie A competition despite a great battle with the Brazilian centre-back.
- Sandro Tonali vs Josip Brekalo: Our third challenge should also be exciting to watch. The attacking midfielder of Torino who also likes to go wide should be closely marked by the Italian midfielder of the Rossoneri. The battle of midfield is always the most important one, that is why Tonali and his AC Milan teammate as well, Franck Kessié, will have to dominate against Brekalo and Milan loanee Tommaso Pobega who will seek to impress.
Torino's probable lineup:
Coach Ivan Juric will be looking to deploy the following tonight:
3-5-2: Berisha; Izzo, Bremer, Buongiorno; Singo, Lukic, Ricci, Vojvoda; Pobega, Brekalo; Belotti
AC Milan's likely formation:
Edit: Ismael Bennacer, Ante Rebic and Samu Castillejo will miss the game against Torino tonight due to a muscle fatigue. Zlatan Ibrahimovic should also be unavailable because of an overload to the left knee.
The updated lineup should be following:
4-2-3-1: Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Theo; Tonali, Kessie; Saelemaekers, Diaz, Leao; Giroud.
