The Serie A Matchday 26 fixture between Torino and Milan will take place on February 22 at the Olimpico Grande Torino Stadium. Torino vs. Milan: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Torino
Paolo Vanoli's side suffered a 3-2 away defeat to Bologna in the last round, conceding the decisive goal in the dying minutes. As a result, Torino lost for the first time in their last eight league matches (1 win, 6 draws). Additionally, the club conceded more than two goals for the fourth time this Serie A season. In the standings, Torino has dropped to 12th place with 28 points. Notably, in this season's home league games, Torino has scored only ten goals – a tally surpassed by only two other teams.
- The club has failed to win in 9 of their last 11 home Serie A matches (5 draws, 4 losses).
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 6 of the team's last 9 home league encounters.
- No more than two goals have been scored in Torino's last nine home Serie A games.
Predicted lineup for Torino (4-4-2)
Vanja Milinković-Savić – Sebastian Walukiewicz, Guillermo Maripán, Saúl Coco, Borna Sosa – Valentino Lazaro, Karol Linetty, Cesare Casadei, Yann Karamoh – Nikola Vlašić, Che Adams.

Milan
In the previous round, Sérgio Conceição's team triumphed over Verona with a 1-0 home victory. Consequently, Milan extended their unbeaten run in the league to four matches (3 wins, 1 draw). The only match during this stretch where the club dropped points was against Inter – the team lost the lead in the final moments (1-1). In the standings, Milan has 41 points and sits in seventh place, just five points behind the top four.

Match Prediction: Torino vs. Milan
Recently, Torino has not impressed in their home league fixtures and rarely achieves favorable results. In their last eight home Serie A matches, Torino managed just one win, alongside four draws and three losses. The team failed to beat, notably, the lower-ranked sides like Monza (1-1) and Parma (0-0). Moreover, in half of these matches, Paolo Vanoli's side did not even score.
Although Milan doesn't always look convincing on the road, they have only faltered in matches against top-tier teams in the league standings recently. In their last seven away league encounters, the club secured four wins and suffered just two defeats – against Atalanta (1-2) and Juventus (0-2).
I believe Sérgio Conceição's team can aim for the maximum result in this encounter. My prediction: Milan with a handicap (0)
