AC Milan will welcome Torino to San Siro this Friday, looking to win their second league game of the new year.
The hosts have endured a poor run of form in 2023, winning just their first game of the new year. They come into this tie on a run of four consecutive losses for the first time since 2017.
Their last game was a 1-0 loss to rivals Inter Milan. That result took them 18 pints behind runaway league leaders Napoli and left them without a win in seven competitive games (D3, L4).

Head coach Stefano Pioli now finds himself under severe pressure to retain his job. With his side now without a clean sheet in the league in over three months (Nov 8 vs Cremonese), this might be another tricky affair.
Also, Torino has a good recent record over Milan have yet to taste defeat in their last three head-to-head meetings (W2, D1). That run includes a 1-0 Coppa Italia win at the San Siro in January, showing that the visitors have a chance here.
Torino come into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 win over Udinese. The result moved them into the top seven, and they will travel to Milan just one place behind their hosts.
The visitors have a decent away record in Serie A this season, collecting as many points on the road as they have at home (15). Moreover, they are currently unbeaten in their last four away games (W1, D3), three of which saw Ivan Jurić’s men open the scoring. So they’re unlikely to be fazed by visiting the San Siro, making this match primed for goals from both teams.
