The Matchday 2 Serie A clash between Lecce and Milan will take place on August 29 at the Via del Mare Stadium. Lecce vs. Milan: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Lecce
Eusebio Di Francesco's team drew 0-0 away against Genoa in the previous round. As a result, Lecce extended their unbeaten run in the league to four matches (2 wins, 2 draws). Additionally, they have kept clean sheets in their last three Serie A fixtures. The club currently sits in 13th place in the standings with one point.
Notably, forward Nikola Stulic joined Lecce before this round.
- The team has not won in 10 of their last 11 home Serie A matches (3 draws, 7 losses).
- At least one opponent failed to score in 8 of Lecce's last 10 home league games.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 6 of Lecce's last 8 home Serie A outings.
Predicted lineup for Lecce (4-5-1)
Vladimiro Falcone – Antonino Gallo, Thiago Gabriel, Kialonda Gaspar, Danilo Veiga – Lassana Coulibaly, Lameck Banda, Medon Berisha, Ylber Ramadani, Tete Morente – Francesco Camarda.
Milan
In the last round, Massimiliano Allegri's side suffered a surprising 1-2 home defeat to Cremonese. This marks Milan's second loss in their last three Serie A matches, although they have scored in six consecutive league games. Over the last 15 Serie A fixtures, the team has managed to keep a clean sheet only three times. Milan currently has no points and is in 15th place in the standings.
- Both teams scored in 6 of Milan's last 8 away Serie A matches.
- The team scored exactly 1 or 2 goals in 7 of their last 9 away league games.
- Milan won the second half in 5 of their last 6 away Serie A matches.
Predicted lineup for Milan (3-4-3)
Mike Maignan – Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, Strahinja Pavlovic – Pervis Estupinan, Youssouf Fofana, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Modric – Christian Pulisic, Santiago Gimenez, Alexis Saelemaekers.
The participation of forward Rafael Leao in the match is in doubt.
Match Prediction: Lecce vs. Milan
Even at home, Lecce struggles to collect points. In their last seven home Serie A matches, they managed to avoid defeat only twice, against less formidable opponents like Torino and Venezia, who were eventually relegated to Serie B. During this period, the team also suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to Como.
Despite starting this season with a loss, Milan has the potential to bounce back. The team performs confidently on the road and often achieves maximum results. In their last six away Serie A matches, Milan secured four victories, losing only to Napoli, who later became champions, and Roma, where they played with ten men from the 21st minute. Additionally, Milan defeated Lecce 3-2 away in last season's league campaign.
I believe Massimiliano Allegri's side is capable of taking all three points in this match. My prediction: Milan to win
