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).

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. For best both teams to score bets click here.

Salernitana will host Juventus this Tuesday at the Stadio Arechi for their 21st-round game of the 2022/23 Serie A season. Salernitana celebrated their first Serie A win in three months when they defeated Lecce by 2-1 in the last round. The result ended a run of seven games without a win (D2, L5) for the hosts and pushed them eight points above the relegation zone. So they will come into this game with a measure of breathing space, given the point gap between them and the drop zone.  Read more: Rayo Vallecano vs Almería: Match Preview and Expert Football Prediction However, having conceded a league-high 38 goals and with their last league clean sheet now ten matches ago, they will be aware that their fight for safety is far from over. While they held Juventus to a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture, their mediocre home form (W3, D3, L4) suggests that it will be another difficult outing for them. David Nicola’s men have not won at home against sides that started this round above them, so Juventus will fancy their chances here. But the Old Lady will also know that it will not be easy here, having lost 2-0 to Monza in their last league outing. That loss means that they come into this tie just ten points from the relegation zone. Ten points from the red line will be a massive gap for smaller teams, but for Massimiliano Allegri’s men, it is an embarrassment. The coach, after their most recent loss, demanded that his players must ‘be aware of the position in the table at this moment’.  His fears are valid when you consider that Juventus have conceded ten goals in their current three-game winless Serie A run (D1, L2) compared with just seven goals from the 17 games prior. But having beaten Lazio 1-0 in the Coppa Italia on Thursday, they will travel to the Campania region in a good mood. At the same time, four clean sheets from four away league matches against sides that started this round below them (W3, D1) puts them as the favourites here.  So this game is likely to produce Under 2.5 Goals.

Lazio will travel to Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Monday to face Verona in the 21st round of the 2022/23 Serie A season. The relegation-threatened Verona continued their upturn with a 1-1 draw against Udinese last time out. The result extended their impressive Serie A start to the new year (W2, D2, L1), a run that moved them to within five points of safety coming into the round.  Having lost the reverse fixture against Lazio 2-0, the hosts will be eager to avoid their first double head-to-head defeats in a single season since 2017/18.

That loss was followed by a narrow 1-0 loss in midweek to Juventus in the Coppa Italia. But with only five points separating them from second-placed Inter ahead of this round, the visitors will be eager to put their cup disappointment behind them and win this game. One goal could be enough to return to winning ways, as they’ve conceded just 16 this term. Maurizio Sarri’s side have kept a clean sheet in six of their nine away league matches (W5, D2, L2), so they will fancy their chances against a Verona side that have lost each of their five home league matches against top-half sides.
