Comments and predictions for AC Milan vs Lecce: Home team dominates the field

Latest information on AC Milan vs Lecce squad

After Milan's attack was led by Alvaro Morata and Tammy Abraham in the derby, it remains unclear whether coach Paulo Fonseca will continue to use this striker pair or return to a more familiar formation.

Regardless, Rafael Leao and top scorer Christian Pulisic will provide support from the back, unless Fonseca decides to make changes ahead of a tough Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen. Noah Okafor and Samu Chukwueze are also available.

Milan will be without Marco Sportiello (hand injury), Ismael Bennacer (ankle injury) and Alessandro Florenzi (anterior cruciate ligament injury), while captain Davide Calabria (muscle injury) remains a major doubt. For Lecce, coach Luca Gotti made a number of changes for Tuesday's cup tie, notably resting key defender Federico Baschirotto and striker Nikola Krstovic, the Giallorossi's top scorer this season.

Both players will return to the Lecce starting line-up, along with first-choice goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone and possibly former Milan striker Ante Rebic. French full-back Frederic Guilbert is absent through suspension after being sent off in the draw with Parma, so Andy Pelmard will be available. Meanwhile, Mohamed Kaba (anterior cruciate ligament) and Medon Berisha (thigh) are also doubtful.

Latest expected lineup AC Milan vs Lecce

Lecce:

Latest football commentary AC Milan vs Lecce

After a run of six derby defeats, Milan finally beat Inter at the San Siro on Sunday, with childhood fan Matteo Gabbia scoring the winner in the 89th minute to give the home side a 2-1 win. The Derby della Madonnina comes amid speculation of a managerial change for the Rossoneri, who have made their worst start to Serie A since 2018 and lost their opening Champions League game to Liverpool.

Coach Paulo Fonseca, despite being under pressure, decided to change the formation and it paid off as Christian Pulisic opened the scoring for Milan early in the game. With two consecutive wins, Fonseca's side are currently sixth in the table, with eight points from five games. With a tough Champions League test against Leverkusen in the mix, Milan will be aiming for a third straight Serie A win when they take on Lecce, who are unbeaten in their last 12 league games, winning seven.

Lecce are looking for their first win in a top-flight meeting between the two sides since April 2006. Since then, Lecce have scored 12 goals in 29 meetings, while Milan have scored 29. Lecce’s current form does not suggest that this will change, as they have not won away from home since August and were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by second-tier opposition. Luca Gotti’s side were held to a disappointing draw against Parma last week, conceding two goals in stoppage time.

Although Lecce are unbeaten in their last three Serie A games, they have been inconsistent away from home. Milan, meanwhile, are in good form after the derby, and with a strong attack, they are likely to win comfortably at the San Siro. Despite questions over their defence, the Rossoneri’s attacking talent is slowly coming to fruition under Paulo Fonseca.
