Milan face Torino in a bid to bounce back

After last week’s defeat to Lazio, which prevented AC Milan from closing the gap on Inter, who had been beaten the week before in the derby, AC Milan are back in search of three points to revive their Scudetto dream and move to within five points, at least for a day, ahead of the Nerazzurri’s clash with Fiorentina scheduled for Sunday evening. Torino, however, come into the game off the back of a 4–1 win over Parma and are looking for more points to pull further away from the lower end of the table.

HEAD TO HEAD

There have been 94 official meetings in Milan between the two sides: Milan have won 54 (most recently 4–1 in Serie A 2023/24), there have been 25 draws (most recently 2–2 in Serie A 2024/25) and Torino have won 15 (most recently 1–0 in the Coppa Italia 2022/23).

Torino’s last Serie A win away to Milan dates back to 24 March 1985: a 1–0 victory, decided by Schachner in the 61st minute. Since then, the teams have met 29 times at Milan’s home venue in the league, with 20 Milan wins and nine draws.

At the Meazza, two of the three Serie A 2025/26 teams that have not benefited from any opposition red cards face each other (the other team is Verona).
