AC MILAN v TORINO: FUN FACTS

The Rossoneri and the Granata go head to head at San Siro in the Friday-night fixture of Serie A matchday 22. Pioli's side are looking to get back to winning ways and buck the recent trend as they take on Jurić's surprise package of Torino who are currently seventh in the table. Ahead of the game at 20:45 CET tomorrow, let's take a look at some of the fun facts on AC Milan v Torino:

SAN SIRO FACTOR WORKS AGAINST THE GRANATA
AC Milan have beaten Torino 45 times at home in Serie A (D20, L11), having only beaten Roma more times (50) at home in the top flight. The Rossoneri are unbeaten in 26 matches against the Granata at home in the league, with 18 wins and eight draws in that period. Torino have failed to score in 11 of their last 14 games at San Siro against the Rossoneri in the league, including all of their last five. Their last goal away at AC Milan was Baselli in August 2018 (3-2 win for the hosts).

TEAM CHARACTERISTICS
AC Milan, along with Inter and Juve, have scored more goals from a counterattack (five) this season than any other team, while Torino are one of just five teams not to have conceded a single goal on the break in Serie A this season. The Rossoneri have had 14 different goalscorers so far this season, only Napoli (15) and Atalanta (16) have had more in the current Serie A campaign. AC Milan have won more their duels - in percentage terms - than any other team in Serie A this season (54%), while Torino are second-last in this regard (47%) behind only Spezia.

ATTACKING INSPIRATION
Torino are Ante Rebić's favourite victim in Serie A: the Croatian has scored five times against the Granata, including his first goal in the league (18 May 2014 as a Fiorentina player) and his first hat-trick (12 May 2021 with AC Milan). On the topic of multiple-goal hauls, the second of Theo Hernández's three braces in Serie A came against Torino on 12 May 2021. In four games against Torino in the top flight, Brahim Díaz has scored once and provided two assists - he hasn't been directly involved in more goals against any other team. Finally, Olivier Giroud scored against Torino - in October 2021 - in his only game against the Granata at home in the league.

COACHES
Stefano Pioli has won ten games against Torino as a coach in Serie A (D7, L3) and has only done better against Bologna (11) and Cagliari (12). In eight meetings with Ivan Jurić, the Rossoneri head coach has a record of three wins, three draws and two defeats. The current Granata boss has won two of his ten games against AC Milan in Serie A as a coach, four draws and four wins for the Rossoneri complete the record.
