Torino are set to take on AC Milan in round 26 of 2024/25 Serie A action on Saturday. The home team will be aiming to return to winning ways after their three-match winless streak.

Paolo Vanoli’s side has accumulated 28 points from 25 matches and will be disappointed to lose their unbeaten streak of seven games in the last match. Che Adams has deputized well in the absence of Duvan Zapata by leading the goalscoring charts with seven and Valentino Lazaro being the top provider with five.
Meanwhile, AC Milan are slowly starting to climb up the table after their recent run of good form. They have won their last two matches in impressive fashion keeping clean sheets in both the games. Sergio Conceicao’s side finds themselves seventh in the table with 41 points five points adrift of Champions League places. After their exit from the UCL, their main focus will now be on Serie A with competition getting closer for top four spots with each passing week. However, the form of Santiago Gimenez will give them plenty of positives after he found the back of the net in his two matches and he will be supported by top scorer Tijjani Reijnders who has scored seven so far.
