Inter Milan will be looking to maintain their recent good form as they welcome Torino to San Siro for a Serie A fixture on Saturday. Torino are struggling at the moment and should find things difficult against the Nerazzurri, who are beginning to get their confidence back.
Inter Milan are coming off a 3-2 victory over Udinese in their previous Serie A fixture. They were made to work hard with Lautaro Martinez netting a brace after Davide Frattesi had opened the scoring early in the first half.
After looking off colour in recent weeks, Inter Milan appear to be finding their form again having won their last two matches. Simeone Inzaghi’s men head into Saturday’s clash off the back of a 4-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade in a Champions League fixture.
Torino made a bright start to the season and were top of the standings at some point. However, Paolo Vanoli’s men appear to have lost their way a little and travel to San Siro off the back of two straight defeats.
Both of Torino’s defeats have come at home as they were beaten 2-1 by Empoli before losing 3-2 to Lazio last time out. They will take some confidence from their away showings this season having won their last two matches on the road.

Inter Milan: Sommer, Bastoni, Acerbi, Pavard, Darmian, Zielinski, Calhanoglu, Frattesi, Dimarco, Martinez, Thuram
Torino: Milinkovic-Savic, Masina, Coco, Vojvoda, Sosa, Ilic, Tameze, Ricci, Lazaro, Adams, Zapata
