What to expect in AC Milan vs Torino Serie A match

AC Milan have been on a tear as of late. They are most likely not dropping any points this weekend, but it is hard to see them notch four goals for a third straight match, especially against an opponent that has sturdy defense.

The visitors have a lot of things going in their favor. However, Torino FC do not have many weaknesses either.
