AC Milan

LWWDDW

AC Milan will be looking for another win after the 1-3 Serie A triumph against Como.

In that match, AC Milan had 32% possession and 7 shots on goal with 4 on target. For AC Milan, the goalscorers were Christopher Nkunku (45') and Adrien Rabiot (55', 88'). At the other end, Como had 18 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Marc-Oliver Kempf (10') was the scorer for Como.

Massimiliano Allegri's AC Milan have managed to score 8 times in their preceding 6 outings. The corresponding number of goals that have been scored against them in those same games amounts to 6.

Leading up to this clash, AC Milan:

• have not lost a league tie with Lecce in their previous 15 matches. A very long unbeaten run against them.
• are undefeated in their last 9 home league matches. They have been so resilient here.

Lecce

WLDLLL 📉

After a losing effort in their last game against Inter Milan in Serie A competition, Lecce will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Lecce had 32% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Inter Milan had 21 shots at goal with 7 on target. Francesco Pio Esposito (78') scored for Inter Milan.

The stats don’t lie, and Lecce have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 9 goals overall. Defensively, Lecce seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.

A look at their previous results shows us that Lecce:

• have not won against AC Milan when they've played them away from home in the last 13 matches in the league. An unbelievably poor away record.
• are without an away win for the past 4 league games.

↔️ Head to head

A review of their past head to head meetings going back to 11/11/2023 shows that these encounters have been pretty painful for Lecce. They have not been able to register any victories at all while AC Milan have just been too good for them, beating them in 83% of those ties.

A combined total of 20 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 16 from i Rossoneri and 4 netted by Giallorossi. That is an average goals per game value of 3.33.

📋 Team News: AC Milan

It’s our opinion that i Rossoneri look set to make use of the 3-5-2 system for this one featuring Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Koni De Winter, Alexis Saelemaekers, Samuele Ricci, Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao.

📋 Team News: Lecce

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there is only a single fitness worry for the Lecce gaffer Eusebio Di Francesco to contend with. Francesco Camarda (Shoulder injury) won’t be playing here. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Danilo Veiga and Gaspar.

We believe Giallorossi seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Wladimiro Falcone, Matias Perez, Jamil Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Antonino Gallo, Lassana Coulibaly, Ylber Ramadani, Tete Morente, Omri Gandelman, Lameck Banda and Nikola Stulic.

🔮 Prediction

It looks to us that AC Milan will likely be able to score a couple against Lecce, who could well find it tough to get a goal of their own.

We’re therefore expecting to see a pretty comfortable 2-0 margin for AC Milan at full-time.
