The Coppa Italia features an exciting set of round-of-16 fixtures this week as AC Milan take on Torino at the San Siro on Tuesday. The Rossoneri defeated Torino in the Serie A over the weekend and will want to put in a similar performance in this game.
Torino are currently in 18th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best over the past few months. The Turin-based outfit edged Lecce to a 3-1 victory in the previous round of the Coppa Italia and will have to be at its best in this game.
AC Milan are enjoying an excellent season so far under Stefano Pioli and are the favourites going into this game. The Rossoneri are at the top of the Serie A standings at the moment and have shown tremendous improvement over the past year.

AC Milan vs Torino Prediction
AC Milan have been extraordinary this year and their effervescent style of play under Stefano Pioli has yielded results. The Rossoneri can potentially win the Coppa Italia this year and will look to make a statement in this game.
Torino, on the other hand, will be looking to take the game into extra time to give the Rossoneri a run for their money. There is a discernible gulf in quality between the two teams, however, and AC Milan should be able to win this game.
Prediction: AC Milan 3-1 Torino
