The probable formations of Milan-Torino

Likely lineups

The 22nd day of the Serie A championship will open on Friday evening with the challenge between AC Milan and Torino. Stefano Pioli’s men want to react to the bad moment and regain the victory they have been missing since January 4, while the guests hope to follow up their victory over Udinese in what would be the granata’s third success of the season against the Rossoneri after the first leg match and the one valid for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.

The coach of the meneghini is going toward confirmation of the three-man defense, with Thiaw in the runoff along with Gabbia, but in attack we should not see two forwards as in the derby, resulting in the return of Rafael Leao on the right lane. On the left, Saelemaekers favored over Calabria.

Two changes from the Udine win are expected for Ivan Juric’s starting eleven: Karamoh, match-winner against Sottil’s men, is expected to give way to Vlasic while, in a midfield in full emergency, Adopo will replace the injured Ricci.

The probable formations

MILAN (3-4-3): Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Kjaer, Thiaw; Saelemaekers, Tonali, Krunic, Theo Hernandez; Brahim Diaz, Giroud, Leao. Coach: Pioli

TURIN (3-4-2-1) Milinkovic-Savic; Djidji, Schuurs, Buongiorno; Ola Aina, Adopo, Linetty, Vojvoda; Miranchuk, Vlasic; Sanabria. Coach: Juric
