This is the clash between Torino in 5th spot and AC Milan in 11th spot. The last two meetings in Torino ended as draws while Milan won as the host by 3-0 when they played against Torino.
Torino had a better start then Milan since the beginning of the season. They started their last three home wins against the likes of Fiorentina, Sampdoria and Palermo. On their travels they did not fared so good as after picking up four points in the first two rounds, they suffered minimal defeats by Chievo and Carpi.
It is interesting to see how they will cope after the two week international break considering they are welcoming Milan who are like a wounded tiger coming into this match. And coach Ventura has announced he will adopt an attacking approach to get the goals against Milan.
As for the team news, the likes of defenders Peres, Maksimovic and Jansson and midfielders Farnerud and Obi are out due to injuries, while the others such as defenders Avelar and midfielders Benassi and Baselli are rated as doubtful.
Meanwhile, Milan will be unhappy in their last seven rounds of Serie A especially since in their last match at home they were beaten by Napoli by 0-4. That defeat was their fourth this season, so there has been rumours that their coach Mihajlovic is walking on thin line and another defeat could see him face the sack.
Milan have not done well despite the money spent on bringing players to the side as they are languishing in 11th spot at the moment. But coach Mihajlovic still believes his team can do well in the remaining matches this season so this match will be a big test for him.
As for the team news, we can expect a lot of changes here but the likes of strikers Balotelli, Menez and Niang are out of action due to injuries.
Interestingly the last four games at the Olimpico Stadium have seen both sides scored, while the last two times Torino hosted it has ended in draws.
