AC Milan vs Torino Prediction
AC Milan have been extraordinary this year and their effervescent style of play under Stefano Pioli has yielded results. The Rossoneri can potentially win the Coppa Italia this year and will look to make a statement in this game.
Torino, on the other hand, will be looking to take the game into extra time to give the Rossoneri a run for their money. There is a discernible gulf in quality between the two teams, however, and AC Milan should be able to win this game.
