AC Milan is set to face off against Lecce at San Siro in Serie A this Sunday. With 12 wins in 20 league games, Milan holds a comfortable 26-point lead over the 17th-placed Lecce.
The Rossoneri have been in fine form lately, remaining unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions. After two consecutive draws, they secured a 3-1 away victory against Como on Thursday. Despite conceding early, they bounced back with a late first-half equalizer from Christopher Nkunku and a second-half brace from Adrien Rabiot.
On the other hand, Lecce has been struggling, failing to secure a win in their last five league matches with four defeats. Their recent outing against league leaders Inter Milan ended in a 1-0 away loss.
In their head-to-head encounters, Milan has dominated Lecce with 30 wins out of 47 meetings. Lecce has only managed two wins, with 15 games ending in draws. Milan also secured a 2-0 away victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season and a 3-0 win in the Coppa Italia, extending their winning streak against Lecce to five games.
Lecce currently holds the worst attacking record in Serie A, scoring only 13 goals. In contrast, AC Milan has only suffered one defeat this season, showcasing a strong defensive record with just 16 goals conceded.
With their current form and dominance in previous encounters, Milan is the clear favorite in this fixture. Santiago Giménez and Strahinja Pavlović will be absent for Milan, but Pervis Estupiñán might feature after being an unused substitute in their last match.
On the other hand, Lecce will be without Medon Berisha and Francesco Camarda due to injuries, while Kialonda Gaspar and Danilo Veiga are suspended. Given Lecce’s poor form and struggles on the road, Milan is expected to secure a comfortable victory.

For betting tips, consider placing your money on AC Milan to win, under 2.5 goals, both teams not scoring, and at least one goal in the second half.
Overall, AC Milan looks set to continue their winning streak against Lecce and maintain their strong position in Serie A.
