With festive season rapidly approaching, teams in a selection of the European leagues know that a winter break will follow. However, there are still plenty of fixtures and AC Milan host Torino on Sunday evening.
Torino’s record against AC Milan is awful as they have never beaten them in the league. In their 18 league meetings, eight of them have been won by Milan while the other 10 ended as draws. None of the last three matches have had a winner and the most recent finished 1-1 as Lorenzo De Silvestri equalised late for Torino before getting sent off in added time. Both teams have scored in four of the last six meetings but with Torino’s games seeing the least goals inside the top eight, that might not be an eventuality on Sunday.
The hosts can go within a point of their city rivals in 3rd with a win but they have a lot of players out injured. Alessio Romagnoli, Mateo Musacchio, Lucas Biglia Giacomo Bonaventura are their most high-profile absentees. Latest matches: AC Milan

Even with a whole host of injuries, AC Milan still head into this match as favourites to come away with all three points. It’s tough to choose a bet involving as the two sides have fluctuated in the way they have scored and conceded, therefore, backing a Milan clean sheet seems to be good value.
