Comments and predictions for Leeds vs AC Milan: Home team collapses

Latest Leeds vs AC Milan team information

Last week, manager Daniel Farke handed starting opportunities to four new signings at Elland Road, including midfielders Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff, and several new faces will continue to feature for Leeds in Ireland.

Their attack is quite thin, with Lukas Nmecha being the only striker to arrive this summer, while Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford are set to leave.

Dan James and Jack Harrison were both absent from Villarreal through injury, along with Sebastian Bournauw, Jayden Bogle and new goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It is unclear whether they will be back in time for Saturday's game, but 16-year-old Harry Gray is likely to be involved, continuing a family tradition.

Milan's most notable signing is talented midfielder Luka Modric, while Swiss midfielder Ardon Jashari has just moved from Club Brugge after being voted the Belgian National League Player of the Season.

Italy midfielder Samuele Ricci will also bolster a midfield that has lost mainstay Tijjani Reijnders, who moved to Manchester City; Alvaro Morata is on his way to ambitious Como, while Malick Thiaw could head to England.

Always cautious, coach Allegri used a five-man defense when facing Premier League teams last month, and will likely continue to apply it at the Aviva Stadium, with Rafael Leao as the spearhead of attack.

Leeds United:Darlow; Schmidt, Bijol, Rodon, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Stach; Aaronson, Nmecha, Gnonto; Piroe

Latest football commentary on Leeds vs AC Milan

A turbulent year saw Milan part ways with two Portuguese managers – Paulo Fonseca and Sergio Conceicao – winning the Italian Super Cup within a week of Conceicao's appointment, but losing the Coppa Italia final to Bologna.

Knocked out of the Champions League by Feyenoord and finishing 8th in Serie A, change was inevitable at Milanello. The “new” manager is none other than former coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Allegri's return comes amid a restructuring of the club's leadership, while behind-the-scenes issues remain. Therefore, Milan are forced to start the new season positively.

Following friendlies in the Far East against Liverpool and Arsenal last month, Milan continued their preparations with a 9-0 win over Perth Glory; this has now increased the number of Premier League sides they have faced to four.

This weekend, Milan face Leeds in Dublin and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, meaning the manager will have to rotate his squad significantly as he plays two games in less than 48 hours.

Due to last season's poor results, Milan will begin their domestic campaign next week, hosting Bari in the first round of the Coppa Italia; newcomers Cremonese will be their first Serie A opponents on August 23.

Promoted back to the Premier League as Championship champions in 2024-25, Leeds started pre-season in the same form as last season.

After holding rivals Manchester United to a 0-0 draw in mid-July, Daniel Farke's team scored a total of seven goals against Verl and Paderborn during a successful training camp in Germany.

New signing Lukas Nmecha got on the scoresheet behind closed doors, before Leeds returned home for their only friendly of the summer at Elland Road.

Last season's Championship top scorer Joel Piroe scored on his birthday in a 1-1 draw with Villarreal, helping "The Whites" move one step closer to returning to the official arena.

Before kicking off their season with a home game against Everton next weekend, Leeds will face the seven-time European champions at the Aviva Stadium.
