AC Milan XI vs Torino - Predicted lineup and team news
AC Milan prepares for their Serie A season opener against Torino under new manager Rúben Amorim. Despite injuries to key players like Rafael Leão, the team is bolstered by the fitness of Gonçalo Ramos and the arrival of new signings.
Why it matters
This match marks the beginning of a new tactical era for a major European football club, influencing betting markets and fan expectations for the 2026/27 season.
AC Milan travel to the Stadio Olimpico to open their Serie A season against Torino on Sunday.
The Rossoneri arrive with mixed but exciting form heading into Rúben Amorim's first competitive match in charge. They ended pre-season on a high with a 4-2 win over Manchester United , though that result came after a heavy 3-0 loss to Chelsea . Milan's end to last season was inconsistent — they lost seven of their final 13 league games — so making a statement in the opener is a priority.
Amorim starts his 2026/27 campaign with some selection problems. Star winger Rafael Leão is out with a recent muscle strain, and forward Santi Giménez is sidelined by an ankle sprain.
