Granata and the Rossoneri come from a list of 6 points in the last 5. Pioli’s team is in difficulty defensively
Torino and Milan go into Saturday’s clash at 8.45pm with different needs to get the three points. For the Rossoneri, second place is now a clear fact and they will try to snatch a success at the Olimpico-Grande Torino only to alleviate the disappointment of the elimination from the Europa League, the lost derby which handed the Scudetto to Inter, who have generated as a consequence a climate of protest. The Turin instead, it aims to exploit the last chances of qualifying for the Conference League, despite the higher technical rate of the last two obstacles to overcome (Milan and Atalanta). As regards the first of the two “finals” they will face, i.e. the match against Milan, the Granata will present themselves on an equal footing, at least as regards the roster of the last five outings.
The last 5 of Turin and Milan
Milan comes from a period that is anything but idyllic in terms of results. In the last five matches, Pioli’s team was satisfied with one point in a 3-3 draw with Sassuolo, lost the derby in front of their home crowd 1-2, drew 0-0 at the Allianz Stadium with Juventus, another sensational 3-3 at home with Genoa and finally a strong performance against Cagliari, which ended at 5-1. In everything 6 points in the last 5, exactly like Torino. It starts with two 0-0s against Juventus and Frosinone, the 2-0 defeat at San Siro against Inter, the third consecutive 0-0 at home against Bologna and finally the 1-2 victory on the pitch Hellas. However, the data for the last ten championship matches is different. Milan would occupy second place in this special ranking with 21 points, Turin eighth with 14.
Toro scores little, Milan concedes too much
As far as the feeling with the goal is concerned, Milan is certainly better than Torino. In the last five the Rossoneri have scored on 12 occasions. However, the defensive phase needs to be reviewed, with Pioli’s team having conceded 9 goals in five matches. Torino, on the other hand, shows the difficulty with goals that characterized the Granata’s year. Only 2 goals in the last 5, all scored at Bentegodi. Only 3 goals conceded confirm their status as the fourth defense in the championship.
