Marco Sportiello (Hand injury), Ismaël Bennacer (Calf muscle tear) and Alessandro Florenzi (Cruciate ligament injury) are unavailable for AC Milan boss Paulo Fonseca.
It’s our opinion that i Rossoneri will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Mike Maignan, Emerson Royal, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez, Tijjani Reijnders, Youssouf Fofana, Christian Pulisic, Alvaro Morata, Rafael Leao and Tammy Abraham.
AC Milan will be looking for another win after the 1-2 Serie A victory against Inter Milan.
In that game, AC Milan managed 44% possession and 16 shots at goal with 8 on target. For AC Milan, the scorers were Christian Pulišić (10') and Matteo Gabbia (89'). Inter Milan had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. Federico Dimarco (27') was the scorer for Inter Milan.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games that AC Milan haven’t conceded. In fact, AC Milan have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 10 goals during that time.
A look at their previous results shows us that AC Milan:
haven't lost in the league to Lecce in their previous 12 games. Quite a long unbeaten run against them.
have not been beaten in their last 5 league matches at home.
Lecce - LLWDDL
It’s our belief that Giallorossi will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Wladimiro Falcone, Kevin Bonifazi, Kialonda Gaspar, Federico Baschirotto, Antonino Gallo, Ylber Ramadani, Balthazar Pierret, Patrick Dorgu, Hamza Rafia, Ante Rebic and Nikola Krstovic.
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Sassuolo in Coppa Italia competition, Lecce and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, Lecce managed 65% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 7 on target. At the other end, Sassuolo had 12 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Tarik Muharemović (13') and Luca D'Andrea (79') scored for Sassuolo.
Throughout their 6 latest matches, Luca Gotti's Lecce have seen their goal attempts be successful a total of 5 times - earning them a goals scored per game average of 0.83.
A look at their previous results shows us that Lecce:
have not won against AC Milan when they have played them away from home in the previous 12 league games. It has been a terrible run on the road.
haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league games.
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Emerson, Tomori, Gabbia, Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Morata, Leao; Abraham
Lecce possible starting lineup:
Falcone; Pelmard, Gaspar, Baschirotto, Gallo; Ramadani, Coulibaly; Dorgu, Rebic, Morente; Krstovic
