AC Milan – Lecce Predictions and Preview
- On Sunday, AC Milan ended their six-match losing streak in the Derby della Madonnina against Inter with a goal from Matteo Gabbia in the 89th minute. This victory marked the first time in April that they had recorded back-to-back wins in Serie A. The final victory in that sequence came at home against Lecce, who will be the visitors again on Friday evening.
- For the Rossoneri, picking up three points in home games against Lecce has become a routine. Since the turn of the century, they have dropped points only twice at the San Siro against Lecce (W10, D2). They have kept clean sheets in five of the last six games against Lecce (W5, D1). The positive signs don’t stop there. Manager Paulo Fonseca, who took over at Milan in June, also has a strong record against Lecce. He won both previous games without conceding while in charge of Roma in 2019/20.
- After starting the campaign with defeats against last season’s Europa League winners Atalanta and Scudetto holders Inter, Lecce have picked up five points from three games since. However, they will feel it could have been seven points after they threw away a two-goal lead in second-half injury time against Parma on Saturday.
- If Lecce had held on, they would have started this gameweek in the top half. Instead, they are hovering just outside the relegation zone, albeit at this early stage of the season. However, there was still a positive for Luca Gotti’s side. They scored twice in Serie A for only the second time in their last 20 games, ending a run of nine matches (W1, D4, L4) without doing so!
- Key battle: Milan winger Rafael Leão has taken the Flashscore Player of the Match award in this fixture across the last two seasons. He has scored in four of his last five games against Lecce (W3, D2). Looking to stop him will be Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone. He has kept four clean sheets from his last seven Serie A away games, but has a miserable H2H record against Milan with no wins (D2, L4) or clean sheets, and 14 goals conceded across six appearances!
- Hot stat: AC Milan’s last five Serie A home matches (W2, D3) have averaged over five goals per game.
