The Rossoneri are heavy favourites in these Milan vs. Lecce predictions for Sunday evening’s Serie A match-up. The visitors are without a win in their last seven games and go into the weekend perilously close to the relegation zone.
Milan vs. Lecce odds
1 – Milan to win– 13/25
2 – Over 1.5 goals scored – 12/5
3 – Rafael Leao to score anytime – 10/3
4 – Both teams to score – 5/4
5 – The match to finish in a draw – 16/5
Milan look to carry their Champions League form forward into Serie A as they host Lecce on Sunday. The Rossoneri have progressed to the semi-finals in Europe, but still have a big task remaining domestically.
Despite their league win over league leaders Napoli, Stefano Pioli’s side have struggled in Serie A in recent weeks, with no other wins in their past six games. As a result, the current Scudetto holders have dropped down to fifth place with just eight games left to play.
In order to secure Champions League football for next season, without relying on winning this year’s competition, the Rossoneri will need to retrain their focus on the domestic campaign. As a result, we back the hosts to secure a much-needed win at the San Siro on Sunday.
Lecce could be the ideal opponents for Milan, as the Salentini go into the weekend with the worst form in the league. Marco Baroni’s side have just one point from their last five games and have scored just twice in their last six.
Confidence against a misfiring defence should allow the hosts to push forward and express themselves in attack. Rafael Leao, in particular, has impressed in recent weeks and we back the winger to score anytime against Lecce.
This fixture has typically been a high scoring affair, with an average of four goals per game over their last six meetings. Hopes of a similar goal-fest may be limited though, given neither side has been prolific in recent weeks. But a wager on over 1.5 goals scored should pay off.
Despite their poor form, Lecce have a relatively solid record against their weekend opponents. The Giallorossi have drawn three of their last six games against Milan and have failed to score only once in that period. For those looking to go against the odds, a bet on the visitors to pick up a point at the San Siro could provide a return, especially given that the hosts’ last two league games have ended in a stalemate.

Milan vs Lecce line-ups
Milan (4-3-1-2): Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Hernandez; Krunic, Tonali; Saelemaekers, De Ketelaere, Leao; Giroud
Lecce (4-1-4-1): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Umtiti, Gallo; Hjulmand; Strefezza, Blin, Oudin, Di Francesco; Ceesay
Milan team news
Stefano Pioli may look to rotate his starting XI following Tuesday’s win over Napoli. But with six days until their next game, most key players are likely to start. Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains Milan’s only injury absence, meaning Olivier Giroud will retain his place up front.
Lecce team news
Few changes are expected from Lecce with Samuel Umtiti and Assan Ceesay having returned to the starting XI last week. Marco Baroni’s switch to a 4-1-4-1 could see Youssef Maleh brought into midfield to bring more attacking impetus, while Lorenzo Colombo’s role is restricted to the bench.
