Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Milan will be aiming to extend their winning run to six games when they take on Torino at their Stadion San Siro on Matchday 10. The Rossoneri outplayed ten-man Bologna 4-2 in their last league match, with the team melting Napoli’s advantage in the standings. Milan, though, aim to keep on making progress if they are to win their first Scudetto since 2011. Olivier Giroud could replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the starting XI, while Rebic, Messias, Maignan, and Florenzi remain in the recovery room.
Brahim Diaz has been tested positive for coronavirus. Il Toro, on the other hand, did well to beat Genoa 3-2 in their last league match. Andrea Belotti has lost his place in the starting XI, with Antonio Sanabria continuing to lead the line for the visitors. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Torino are not regarded as good travelers. All Ansaldi, Verdi, Pjaca, and Mandragora miss out with injuries.
