The two sides have faced each other eight times since 2020. Milan dominated those encounters, registering six wins and four clean sheets. Lecce, on the other hand, didn’t win a single game, with the other two encounters ending in draws. The average number of goals per game was 3.5.
AC Milan team overview
After beating Bari 2-0 in the first round of the Coppa Italia, Milan's opening game of the season, the Rossoneri received plenty of criticism for losing their first league game 2-1 at home to Cremonese.
Marco Landucci's men have responded well, winning their last three games and keeping clean sheets in each one. Their last game saw them beat Udinese 3-0 away from home, so they will be feeling confident ahead of Tuesday's match against Lecce when you consider how good their recent record against them is.
Mike Maignan missed the win over Cagliari last time out due to an injury sustained against Bologna over a week ago, and he will also miss Tuesday’s game. The hosts' injury list also includes Rafael Leão and Ardian Jashari, who are dealing with calf and fibula issues respectively.

Lecce team overview
Lecce kicked off their 2025-26 campaign with a 2-0 win over Juve Stabia, then played a goalless draw against Lecce in their first Serie A game of the season.
I Giallorossi have since given their supporters nothing to celebrate, losing their last three games and shipped a total of eight goals.
Despite this poor run of form, the visitors will be motivated by the fact that they have lost only one of their last four competitive away games.
Gaby Jean is ruled out until December due to a cruciate ligament injury, while Balthazar Pierret is also unavailable due to muscle fatigue.

Prediction
Lecce are capable of scoring goals, as they have done in six of their last seven away games. However, it is likely that they will concede a couple of goals. I am expecting a tight encounter, with Luka Modrić and co. winning 2–1 at the end of the 90 minutes.
Three reasons we expect under 3.5 goals in this game
- Only two of the last six meetings between Milan and Lecce produced more than two goals.
- Bets on under 3.5 goals won in 14 of the last 15 competitive games of Lecce.
- All the last six competitive games of AC Milan ended with under 3.5 goals.
