To make matters worse this weekend AC Milan’s next rival is a complicated Torino. This team has had three consecutive wins, which have allowed them to celebrate their Centennial Anniversary in a grander way. Torino is a team that displays a physical hard tackle game as its main weapon; the area is where the locals are a little wanting.
Carlo Ancelotti may console himself with this match’s history: in the 63 games played in San Siro, Milan has won 37 times, with 15 draws and only 11 losses. Last game was a thunderous win of 6-0 with Filippo Inzaghi obtaining the hat trick. Coach Ancelotti’s personal record against Torino is four wins and a draw. He’s never fallen to Torino.

Ancelotti has many problems to face, starting with his creative mid fielders. Pirlo is on suspension and Clarence Seedorf y Brazilian Super Star Kaká have small ailments bothering them.
Both players are most likely to bite down and play regardless although Ambrosini y Gourcuff will be ready if necessary midfielder Jankulovski could zone further up. Cafú has felt better lately and could return to starting defensive position.
Torino’s Manager Alberto Zaccheroni will not be able to count on Di Loreto on the defense (out on suspension). Brevi and Doudou are on teeters to take his place. The other two defenders will be the same as usual, Cioffi y Franceschini.

The rest of the squad has no novelties, especially the Rosina and Lazetic duo supporting their only forward striker Stellone. Another teeter decision is for the Torino left lane, between Balestri and Pancaro. Balestri is the favorite of the two.
AC Milan is -333 at Bodog.com and although the may win I would rather fair with the ever possible draw, at +320 I would take a chance on that.
