MIL vs TOR Fantasy Preview:
Stefano Pioli will be a content man as his team will be heading into a return fixture against Torino in a span of two days. AC Milan trumped over Torino in a lopsided encounter a couple of days back as Rafael Leao and Franck Kessie were on target with the latter converting from the spot.
Until their last defeat against the Rossoneri, Torino savoured a decent run in their last four games with three draws and one victory. However, one of the major reasons for an intensified frown on their faces will be the lack of their firepower up front. In order for them to thrive, they will have to hone their attacking line-up, especially against the likes of teams like Milan.
This will be an intense battle between two contrasting sides, however, the reason that this game will be of emphatic salience as this is a knock-out fixture and both the teams will be staking everything on the line to surge ahead. These are our fantasy picks for the high-octane clash between two pulsating sides of the tournament.

MIL vs TOR Probable Teams:
AC Milan: Ciprian Tatarusanu; Diogo Dalot, Alessio Romagnoli, Pierre Kalulu, Andrea Conti; Franck Kessie, Sandro Tonali; Jens Petter Hauge, Daniel Maldini, Lorenzo Colombo; Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Torino: Salvatore Sirigu; Bremer, Lyanco, Armando Izzo; Ricardo Rodriguez, Karol Linetty, Tomas Rincon, Amer Gojak, Wilfried Stephane Singo; Sasa Lukic, Andrea Belotti
Picks to consider:
Zlatan Ibrahimovich is always a marauding threat to have in one’s ranks, given his prolific ability to score the best and the most bizarre goals. He is one of the best strikers in the world and can inflict punition on the opposition at his own volition.
Andrea Belotti is a seasoned campaigner and his predatory instincts are extremely sharp to impose Torino upon any other opponents on his heyday. He is a fascinating marksman and those belters from the distance are worth watching.
Captaincy Choices:
Sandro Tonali
Franck Kessie
Match Prediction: Who will win today?
AC Milan will always hold the upper hand in this game given the presence of Zlatan in their ranks which is an added advantage to their already decorated forward line. With Torino low on attacking intent, Pioli may very well aim this fixture to test his bench strength.
