Betting on AC Milan
The AC Milan season has picked up pace in recent weeks. While their performance in Serie A has left much to be desired, defeating the league leaders Napoli to secure a spot in the Champions League semifinals after many years is quite an impressive achievement.
Milan drew 1-1 against Napoli midweek to eventually win the quarterfinal tie 2-1 on aggregate. However, they now need to shift their focus back to the league, where they currently sit fifth in the table, having won only one of their last five Serie A matches. They drew 1-1 with Bologna last weekend.
Playing at home should give them some confidence to get back on track, as they have lost only two out of 14 matches played at San Siro this season, scoring 28 goals in the process.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Mike Maignan; Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Rade Krunic, Sandro Tonalli; Brahim Diaz, Ismael Bennacer, Rafael Leao; Divock Origi.
Betting on Lecce
The Lecce enters this round of the top Italian league with a five-point cushion above the relegation zone. However, their supporters might be starting to worry as they have gone seven games without a win, drawing 1-1 against last-placed Sampdoria in their last outing.
During this winless streak, Lecce failed to score in five matches, which explains why they have one of the lowest number of goals in the league with only 26, out of which only 11 have been scored away from home.
To make matters worse, their opponent for this match is Milan, a team that Lecce has not beaten at their home stadium since 1997, with a record of two draws and eight losses since then.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Wladimiro Falcone; Valentin Gendrey, Federico Baschirotto, Samuel Umtiti, Antonino Gallo; Alexis Blin, Morten Hjulmand, Youssef Maleh; Gabriel Strefezza, Assan Ceesay, Federico Di Francesco.
JefeBet Prediction
After fulfilling their European duties, Milan will try to use that momentum to recover their best form in the league, where they urgently need to accumulate points to start climbing up the standings.
Milan has not lost in any of their four recent home matches, even keeping a clean sheet in three of them, a record that could improve here with the visit of one of the worst offenses in Serie A.
Lecce has been very poor both in defense and attack in recent months, which is why we trust that an inspired Milan can take advantage of those weaknesses and secure a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Milan Asian Handicap (MIL 2-0 LEC)
