AC Milan vs Torino (Tuesday, 19:45)
AC Milan and Torino go toe-to-toe at the San Siro on Tuesday night for the second time in 72 hours.
The pair met in Serie A on Saturday, on a night where Milan chalked up a 2-0 win to maintain their place at the summit of the standings.
Both teams will reconvene this midweek for a Coppa Italia last-16 clash and I fancy Stefano Pioli's side to seal their passage to the quarter-final stage.
However, the hosts look a little too short to put up at a general 4/7 so as ever I'll head to Bet 365's Bet Builder market to get a slightly bigger price.
If we combine AC Milan to qualify, over one AC Milan goal and over five match corners we will be presented with a backable 4/5 punt.
Milan boss Pioli made it known in his pre-match comments that he is taking this competition very seriously, not to mention returning Rossoneri talisman Zlatan Ibrahimović is expected to get some much-needed game time on Tuesday night.
With that in mind, coupled with the fact that AC Milan will not be back in league action until next Monday, I'm more than happy to back the hosts to book their place in the last-eight.
What's more, Torino have fallen to defeat in 13 of their last 19 Italian top-flight road trips and it's also worth noting that they have recorded just one clean sheet across their last 11 league matches.
Finally, given that AC Milan are averaging 6.41 corners per game this season – the second highest tally in the division – I'll throw in over five match corners to nudge up the price on the above-mentioned Bet Builder.
