Lecce team overview
After returning to Serie A in the 2022-23 campaign, Lecce have been locked in draining battles for safety right up to the final rounds, including last term when they narrowly escaped relegation, finishing 17th and keeping their status alive by a slender three-point margin.
During the summer transfer window, the Apulia outfit lost their Montenegrin talisman Nikola Krstovic to fellow Serie A side Atalanta, a departure that leaves a major void in the final third and strongly suggests that mere survival at the top level will be their only realistic target.
Krstović’s departure was evident on the opening weekend, yet Di Francesco’s squad displayed solid structure and stability at the back, managing to leave the Stadio Luigi Ferraris with a valuable point after a tense 0-0 draw with an ever-unpredictable Genoa.
Gaby Jean’s recovery from a serious ACL injury will keep him off the pitch for at least two months, and Lecce will also be without Polish midfielder Filip Marchwinski due to the same setback.
Among others, 17-year-old prodigy Francesco Camarda will be unavailable to face his parent club AC Milan while on loan, opening the door for Konan N’Dri or Nikola Stulic to start upfront.

AC Milan team overview
AC Milan, regular top-four finishers from 2021 to 2024, endured an unexpected downfall last season, resulting in a shocking eighth-place finish that sees them missing out on European football entirely.
The frustrating 2025-26 campaign forced the club’s hierarchy to make crucial off-season decisions, chief among them the appointment of seasoned Italian tactician Massimiliano Allegri, tasked with steering the Lombard giants back to their rightful place at the top.
Unfortunately, the Rossoneri endured an unexpected blow in their first match of the Italian top flight season, with squandered opportunities haunting them and ultimately leading to a disheartening 2-1 loss at home to freshly promoted Cremonese.
Star man Rafael Leao is making good progress in his recovery from a calf injury, but he will miss Serie A's matchday two as his team travels to face Lecce.

Prediction
Lecce will be buoyed by their goalless draw against Genoa in matchday one, entering this clash with Milan full of confidence, but if they hope to pull off a shock, they will need to sharpen their finishing in front of goal. AC Milan head into matchday two under intense pressure following a surprising 2-1 defeat to Cremonese, yet they can draw confidence from their historical dominance over the Apulian side, having emerged victorious in four of their last five encounters. Considering all factors, a tactically cautious encounter is expected, with both sides likely to find the net, while a share of the spoils seems the most probable outcome.
Three Reasons we expect Draw
- Including a strong finish to last season, Lecce are now unbeaten in four consecutive Serie A matches (W2 D2).
- During this four-game unbeaten run in Italy’s top flight, Lecce kept a clean sheet on three occasions.
- Two of the previous three encounters between these teams at Via del Mare ended in a draw.
