In that game, AC Milan had 48% possession and 13 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for AC Milan was Christopher Nkunku (90'). Fiorentina had 20 shots on goal with 7 on target. Pietro Comuzzo (66') was the scorer for Fiorentina.

Massimiliano Allegri's AC Milan have hit the back of the net a sum total of 8 times in their last 6 outings. At the other end, the number of goals that have been scored against them in those same fixtures amounts to 6.

• 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 📉

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Inter Milan in Serie A action, 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. For their opponents, Inter Milan had 21 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Francesco Pio Esposito (78') scored for Inter Milan.

The strike force from Lecce have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past six clashes, contributing the poor return of just 3. In those matches, Giallorossi have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 10. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, however.

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 results stretching back to 11/11/2023 reveals that these encounters have been miserable for Lecce. They’ve not been able to get themselves any victories at all while AC Milan have been too good for them, winning in 83 per cent of those games played.

A total of 20 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 16 of them for i Rossoneri and 4 coming from Giallorossi. That’s an average goals per game of 3.33.

ℹ️ Team News: AC Milan

In all likelihood, i Rossoneri will probably opt for a 3-5-2 system this time, beginning the first half with Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Koni De Winter, Alexis Saelemaekers, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot, Davide Bartesaghi, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leão.

🗞️ Team News: Lecce

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is just the sole fitness issue for the Lecce boss Eusebio Di Francesco to be concerned with. Francesco Camarda (Shoulder injury) won’t be in action. Gaspar is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that Giallorossi might elect for a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Wladimiro Falcone, Christ-Owen Kouassi, Jamil Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Antonino Gallo, Omri Gandelman, Ylber Ramadani, Lassana Coulibaly, Riccardo Sottil, Nikola Stulic and Lameck Banda.

💭 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.
