Lecce will return to San Siro for the second Serie A game in a week, this time to face AC Milan. The visitors arrive for this game placed just above the relegation zone, while Milan are second, in the thick of the title race. Read on to find our prediction of this match.
Lecce put up a strong fight in their last game, away to Inter Milan, but could only hold off for a 1-0 defeat. They are left with just four wins in the league this season.
Salentini must collect at least a point here to be sure of staying outside the bottom three. Their 11th league loss of the season has them precariously three points above the drop zone.
AC Milan have had their shaky moments in recent matches and dropped crucial points along the way. They were, however, determined not to lose more in their last outing, as they claimed a 2-1 win at Como.
In that game, for the third straight time, Milan had to come from behind. It has been a clear show of their defensive shortcomings in the last three games.
For this reason, they will be happy to face the league’s lowest-scoring team. Lecce have averaged 0.65 goals per game, while Milan has conceded 0.8 on average.

This match will mark the third meeting between these two sides this season alone. Milan won both games, though the league meeting ended in under 2.5 goals. The two wins were an extension of Milan’s dominant ways in this fixture, and we expect the same to extend here.
This match could also turn out to be a low-scoring affair. Six of Milan’s last 10 matches had under three goals, and one of the teams playing here is the lowest-scoring side in Serie A. Our prediction for AC Milan v Lecce is for AC Milan to win & under 2.5 goals.
