Torino FC (4-2-1, 13 points) and AC Milan (3-4-0, 9 points) are looking to move up the 2015-2016 Serie A table as they meet each other at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino on October 3 for a week 8 match.
Both teams are coming off disappointing losses from lowly teams as they drop to the fifth and 11th spots in the overall standings respectively.
Il Toro was stunned by newly-promoted squad Carpi FC, 1-2, last October 3 in their game held at the Stadio Alberto Braglia. Giampiero Ventura's boys played lackadaisically during the match to hand I Biancorossi's their first win of the season.
An own goal by goalkeeper Daniele Padelli ten minutes into the second half was the beginning of the Maroons misfortunes. Carpi's Brazilian striker Ryder Matos made it 2-0 at the 72nd minute before Torino's Argentine forward Maxi López put the visitors on board, as reported by BBC Sport.
Meanwhile, I Rossoneri suffered an embarrassing 0-4 loss to mercurial squad Napoli at the San Siro on October 4, via SkySports.
Siniša Mihajlović's team was no match against the fast-rising Partenopei, who are on a two-game winning run and had been unbeaten in their last six games.
Milan hopes to cut their losing streak to two as they rely on strikers Luiz Adriano and Carlos Bacca to tide them through a tough Torino XI on the road.
Prediction: AC Milan beats Torino, 2-1.
Torino starting lineup (3-5-2 formation): Padelli; Bovo, Glik, Moretti; Zappacosta, Benassi, Gazzi, Vives, Silva; Lopez, Quagliarella
AC Milan starting lineup (4-3-1-2 formation): Lopez; De Sciglio, Zapata, Ely, Antonelli; Kucka, Montolivo, Bertolacci; Bonaventura; Adriano, Bacca
