Torino vs Milan Prediction 23 August 2026
📢 The match between Torino and Milan should attract a sizeable audience. Torino have long been regarded as a solid mid-table side in Serie A, capable of making life difficult for almost any top opponent. Milan, who missed out on the Champions League, are coming into the new season with serious ambitions and are clearly looking to re-establish themselves among the country's best. The venue adds another layer of interest - at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, the gap in class between the two sides tends to feel less pronounced.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last few years, the two sides have met 42 times, with Milan holding a clear advantage: the Rossoneri have won 22 of those matches, Torino seven, and 13 have ended in a draw. Last season both meetings were high-scoring affairs, with Milan winning each 3-2.
Head-to-head statistics Torino - Milan
Torino Team Overview
🔴 Torino had a very inconsistent season last year. The club spent much of the campaign hovering near the relegation zone, but things improved noticeably after Marco Baroni was sacked and Roberto D'Aversa came in - a manager who tends to get results quickly. They finished 12th, 11 points clear of the drop, and avoided any late-season nerves.
⚪ If Torino continue in the same direction, they could push for European football this season. That said, it is too early to draw firm conclusions: Ignazio Abate, who took charge in the summer, has a relatively limited managerial CV. In pre-season, though, the results were decent - three wins, one draw and one defeat. They also made a positive start to the competitive season, beating Carrarese 1-0 on 15 August to advance to the Round of 32 of the Coppa Italia, a result that could have been more convincing given how the match played out.
Match Results: Torino
Milan Team Overview
🔴 Milan looked strong through the first half of last season, held second place for a long stretch and were widely seen as Inter's main title rivals. But something went badly wrong in the spring: the Rossoneri dropped points in almost every match, and ultimately missed out on the top four altogether, finishing fifth. The most painful moment came in the final round - a 1-2 defeat to Cagliari that cost them a Champions League place.
⚫ Rúben Amorim will take charge of Milan in the new season. After his difficult spell at Manchester United, confidence in the Portuguese coach is limited, and a pre-season of one win, two draws and one defeat has done little to change that. The one bright spot was at least symbolic - a 4-2 victory over Amorim's former club.

Latest news
Torino
❌ Torino have injury concerns over two forwards. Duvan Zapata is recovering from a knee injury and remains a doubt. Pietro Pellegri is still working his way back from a cruciate ligament injury, though he has returned to training, so his comeback is gradually drawing closer.
Milan
❌ Milan are also heading into the opening round with two injury concerns in attack. Santiago Jiménez is out with a thigh injury and is not expected to return until around early September. Christian Pulisic is also dealing with a thigh problem, though his availability for the match remains uncertain.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Recent head-to-head meetings between these two have consistently produced goals: in the last six matches between Torino and Milan, both sides have always got on the scoresheet. Last season they put on two particularly high-scoring affairs, combining for ten goals across the two fixtures. Given that trend, Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.85* is worth considering.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Despite their status, Milan did not win corners particularly often last season, averaging 4.3 per match. Notably, in 8 of their last 9 Serie A games, the Rossoneri earned no more than four corners. That makes Milan Team Total Corners - Under 4.5 at 1.99* an interesting option.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Both meetings between these sides last season were fairly feisty. The match in Turin produced three bookings combined, while the referee handed out five yellow cards in Milan. Given the physical nature of this fixture, Total Yellow Cards - Over 2.5 at 1.49* looks like an interesting bet.
🚀 Player Stats Bet
Gonçalo Ramos is expected to be Milan's main attacking threat this season. The club showed just how much they believe in the Portuguese striker by paying PSG €74 million for him this summer. In a pre-season friendly against Manchester United, he already demonstrated his quality up front, scoring once and providing two assists. Gonçalo Ramos to Score at 2.55* is worth a look.
😱 Risky Bet
Nobody finds it easy at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Even Milan had to come from 0-2 down last season to take the win there. With Torino having had a decent pre-season, the hosts are capable of making it difficult and picking up a point. For those who like a risk, Draw at 3.90* is worth considering.
🎯 Reliable Bet
Those looking for a safer option can back Milan to Score at 1.17*. Torino have rarely managed to keep a clean sheet against the Rossoneri - they have conceded in 13 of the last 14 Serie A meetings between the sides. We doubt the upcoming match will be any different.
👀 If the Match Goes Another Way
While much points towards an open, goal-filled game, the opposite scenario cannot be ruled out entirely. It is still the start of the season, not all players are at peak fitness, and both attacks may struggle to click. If the opening stages are cautious and chances are scarce, Total Goals - Under 1.5 at 3.55* could be worth a look.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
The bookmakers have Milan as favourites, and in terms of squad quality the Rossoneri do look the stronger side - but backing them to win with confidence feels premature. Under Amorim, you never quite know what you're going to get. Torino at home are also a difficult proposition. On balance, Both Teams to Score - Yes looks the most appealing bet, a market that has come in regularly in recent meetings between these two. Expected score: 2-2.
