Lecce vs Milan Preview and Team News
Lecce Team News
Lecce, known for their defensive frailties, will look to overcome these challenges when coming up against a much-vaunted Milan side. Filip Marchwinski and Gaby Jean have both been sidelined due to cruciate ligament injuries.
In the first round of the new season, the Salentini played out a goalless draw with Genoa and have yet to score their first goal. They kept just 41% possession in that outing and posted an xG of 0.37, which is rather abysmal. Lecce have to improve a lot in the attacking third if they are to put up a strong showing against Milan.
They took just seven shots in the entire game, none of which were on target, and created one big chance, which is pitiful at this level of the sport. Lecce won just 65% of all tackles – another area that will need improvement if they are to compete against the Rossoneri.
Lecce predicted lineup vs Milan (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Veiga, Gabriel, Gaspar, Gallo; Coulibaly, Berisha; Morente, Ramadani, Banda; Camarda.
Milan Team News
Milan, who endured a torrid previous season in the Serie A and ended it without qualifying for any European competition, know that playing Lecce away from home won’t be easy.
For manager Massimiliano Allegri, dominating the game right from the off is crucial, and that is what he’ll likely instruct his wards to do in this match.
Milan had a disastrous start to the new league season as they were beaten 1-2 by Cremonese in their opener. Although they had the ball for 64% of the time and registered an xG of 1.88, the Rossoneri were outsmarted by their opponents inside their own box.

Manager Allegri knows that there’s no better time than now to come back from such an affront, and Lecce can expect to face the wrath of a surely rejuvenated Milan side.
What will frustrate Allegri all the more is that his men took 24 shots in total in that encounter but still couldn’t score more than one goal. If there is something he wants to tell them, it’ll probably be to make them more clinical in the final third.
As for availability, attacker Rafael Leao remains sidelined with a calf injury he picked up early in the season.
Milan predicted lineup vs Lecce (3-5-2): Maignan; Pavlovic, Gabbia, Tomori; Estupinan, Loftus-Cheek, Ricci, Modric, Saelemaekers; Pulisic, Gimenez.
Lecce vs Milan Prediction
- Pick: Milan to win
- Odds: -154 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Lecce 0-3 Milan
We expect Milan to completely overwhelm their opponents, especially given the kind of quality they have in their attacking stables. For the visiting side, the presence of former Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric in the center of the park will add a lot of value, as he’s known for dictating the speed and rhythm of passing.
Moreover, Milan, historically strong in defense, will have to figure out their shape first before going all-out in attack on Lecce. The hosts don’t have too many bright prospects when it comes to performing in the final third, and we expect them to get overshadowed by the technical brilliance that the Rossoneri defenders are bound to display.
Lecce vs Milan Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Milan to score the first goal
- Odds: -192 (20Bet)
Milan are likely to score the first goal, primarily due to the dominating nature of their midfielders and attackers. While Christian Pulisic is expected to have a big say in their attacking unit, the likes of Saelemaekers, Modric, and Ricci are all capable of launching quick counters and delivering precise passes.
For Lecce, a lot of importance needs to be placed on marking their opponents closely and not giving them a lot of space to express their deadly intentions. The home team could also benefit from a possession-based style, which may help reduce Milan’s control of the game and limit the number of shots they can generate.
