Torino is on a two-game unbeaten run to bounce back from a previous three-game losing streak. They are currently in the eighth spot of the Italian top flight table, only four points behind seventh-place team Inter Milan.
Il Toro was held to a 0-0 draw by lowly team Sassuolo on the road at the Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore during their most recent fixture last Sunday, via SkySports.
The game was the second consecutive clean sheet performance for English goalkeeper Joe Hart after giving up 10 goals in three games during their losing slide.
Head coach Siniša Mihajlović's side will look to bring their momentum in this match versus AC Milan.
Meanwhile, I Rossoneri is also on a two-game undefeated streak but has been inconsistent in their last six games with three wins, two draws, and one loss. They are currently in the fifth spot of the league table holding the final Europa League qualifying berth for next season. The team is also only two points below Napoli and the last Champions League spot.
Milan nipped newly-promoted side Cagliari, 1-0, at their home ground of Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in San Siro also last Sunday for their fifth unbeaten performance in six rounds, Daily Mail Online reported.
Colombian striker Carlos Bacca once again provided the winning goal for head coach Vincenzo Montella's squad as he buried a right-footed shot from the center of the box with only two minutes remaining before full-time. The assist came from Italian forward Gianluca Lapadula following a through ball.
