Lecce Preview
Lecce has not lost since last October 29, 2022 losing by a score of 1-0 to Juventus. Since then, it registers five unbeaten games, with three wins and two draws. In their most recent game they played a goalless draw against Spezia away.
For this new matchday they will be playing at home, where they have registered two consecutive victories, both by a score of 2-1, which is somewhat curious since they are the only games they have won at home out of the eight they have played. Therefore, they are not one of the best locals in Serie A, but the recent results gave them confidence.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): WladimiroFalcone, Valentin Gendrey, Federico Baschirotto, Samuel Umtiti, Antonino Gallo, Joan Gonzalez, Alexis Blin, Youssef Maleh, Gabriel Strefezza, Lorenzo Colombo, Federico Di Francesco.
Milan Preview
Reigning Serie A champions AC Milan remain in the top three of the Serie A standings with 37 points after 11 wins, four draws and two defeats. They are seven points behind leaders Napoli, but there is still a long way before the end of the league, and they are still dreaming of a second consecutive title.
Unfortunately, the red-and-black team has just suffered a defeat that could be a major struck to their confidence, as they were eliminated from the Coppa Italia against Torino by a score of 0-1. After this elimination, they are now focused entirely on the Italian league, where they register a five-game unbeaten streak, with three wins and two draws.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Ciprian Tatarusanu, Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori, Davide Calabria, Theo Hernandez, Sandro Tonali, Ismael Bennacer, Alexis Saelemaekers, Brahim Diaz, Rafael Leao, Olivier Giroud.
JefeBet Prediction
Milan have not lost in their last four away games against Lecce and will come into this match unbeaten in their last two Serie A away matches. It is important to note that the red and black team has only one defeat in eight games on rival soil this campaign, so they are the favorites to win this match.
Prediction: Milan wins by a score of 2-1.
