Torino vs AC Milan Prediction & Betting Tips (18 May)

Accustomed to vegetating in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Torino is not defying the predictions this season. Indeed, the Piedmontese team occupies 10th place in Serie A but retains a very small chance of winning a European jump seat one more match and 3 points behind 8th. Last weekend, Duvan Zapata's teammates won on the pitch of a poorly ranked Hellas Verona 1-2. They thus put an end to a bad dynamic of 5 games without a victory in the league, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Quickly dropped from the race for the Scudetto this season, AC Milan is still guaranteed to finish in 2nd place in the ranking.

The Inter runner-up has therefore fulfilled his major objective by booking his ticket for the next Champions League. Authors of a very good second half of the championship, the Rossoneri have on the other hand shown a logical decompression recently. Indeed, they have gone 4 games without a win, 3 draws and 1 defeat. This bad series ended last weekend with a big success against the poorly ranked Cagliari 5-1.

Several elements are missing from Torino this weekend. This is the case of potentially starting defenders Djidji and Schuurs, the important playmaker Vlasic and the promising midfielder Gineitis (19 years old). Furthermore, the replacement Sazonov is uncertain. The attackers Zapata (11 goals and 4 assists in SA) and Sanabria (5 goals in SA) could still be associated but it was the replacement Pellegri who found the net on the last day. Torino has the 4th defense in the championship.

The AC Milan coach deplores the withdrawals of the number 1 goalkeeper Maignan, his understudy Mirante, the important midfielder Loftus-Cheek (6 goals in SA) and the defender now replacing Kjaer. In addition, affected last weekend, winger Chukwueze joined the infirmary while starting defender Gabbia is suspended. This week, Olivier Giroud (14 goals and 8 assists in SA) announced his departure at the end of the season. He could start this Saturday and be surrounded by wingers Leao (8 goals and 9 assists in SA) and Pulisic (12 goals and 7 assists in SA), who both scored against Cagliari.
