Mansion Sports – The 2025/2026 Serie A season brings another notable fixture as Torino prepare to host AC Milan on Matchweek 14, a match that could influence the league standings.

This encounter is scheduled to take place at the Olimpico Grande Torino on Monday, 8 December 2025 at 20:45 local time.

While AC Milan aim to recover following a painful Coppa Italia elimination, their focus now shifts entirely to the Scudetto race as they prepare to face a Torino side experiencing a downturn in form. 

Before the match begins, here is Mansion Sports’ projected lineup for Torino vs AC Milan December 2025.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Torino

Since suffering a crushing 7–0 defeat in the 2020–2021 season, Torino have impressively won their last three home matches against AC Milan.
A victory in this fixture would give them four consecutive home wins over the Rossoneri for the first time since 1949.

However, recent results from both teams tell a contrasting story. Torino have failed to win in their last five matches, including a loss to Lecce last week. The 2–1 defeat denied them even a single point despite Che Adams briefly reviving their hopes. Their disappointment deepened when Kristjan Asllani’s stoppage-time penalty was saved.

Although still outside the relegation zone, Torino’s 14-point tally marks their lowest at this stage of the competition in the past five years. 

For head coach Marco Baroni, the current situation increases the pressure, as Torino hold the worst defensive record in Serie A this season, conceding an average of 1.77 goals per match. Their attack has also struggled to score consistently.

Torino’s instability is evident. With only three wins and five defeats so far, inconsistency has become a major concern as they prepare to face the league leaders. 

Their winless run includes draws against Bologna, Pisa, and Juventus, followed by a heavy 1–5 loss to Como and another 1–2 defeat to Lecce. Their competitive morale is clearly at a low point.

AC Milan

AC Milan arrive in Turin with far stronger form. By Matchweek 13, Massimiliano Allegri’s squad have collected 28 points and sit atop the standings thanks to goal difference over Napoli. Their consistency has been the foundation of their early-season success.

Milan enjoyed an impressive run of 13 matches without defeat across all competitions before their streak was halted by a 0–1 loss to Lazio in the Coppa Italia. 

The defeat was in stark contrast to their earlier 1–0 Serie A victory over the same opponent, decided by a goal from Rafael Leao.

Despite the Coppa Italia setback, AC Milan remain stable and confident heading into their visit to Torino. Their tactical structure is well-organised, player rotation has been effective, and team conditions appear strong overall.

This match presents an important opportunity to maintain their position at the top of the table while reinforcing their dominance in the early phase of the season.

Torino vs AC Milan Predicted Lineups – December 2025

Torino (3–5–2)

Che Adams is expected to partner Duvan Zapata in attack, with Zapata having scored in his last two matches against Milan. 

Ardian Ismajli remains doubtful, while Ivan Ilic is reportedly recovering from a knee injury and may be included on the bench.

AC Milan (3–5–2)

AC Milan are expected to make several adjustments after fielding a strong squad in their Coppa Italia match. Luka Modric and Christian Pulisic, who both appeared as substitutes, are likely to return to the starting lineup.

Youssouf Fofana is ruled out due to injury, while Santiago Gimenez and Zachary Athekame also remain unavailable. 

Rafael Leao, who has flourished in his new role as a central forward, has scored five Serie A goals since being deployed as a starter in Week 7. He and Pulisic are expected to lead Milan’s frontline.

With both teams entering the match carrying different motivations, this encounter is set to draw considerable attention. Torino seek to end their negative streak and extend their strong home record against Milan, while the Rossoneri look to preserve their position at the summit of the league table.
