AC Milan Preview
Champions Milan find themselves in third place right now, seven points behind runaway leaders Napoli. They are level on points with in-form Juventus, though the Old Lady have a better goal difference.
Pioli’s troops have been tough to beat in Serie A this season, with just Napoli and Torino getting the better of them. They head into this game having picked up seven wins from their last ten in the league.
Milan were 2-0 up against Roma with just three minutes to go last weekend. However, two late efforts from Jose Mourinho’s men gave them a share of the spoils at the San Siro. Rossoneri followed that up with a Coppa Italia loss to Torino.
After last weekend’s setback, Milan will be desperate to get back to winning ways in the league. They have been solid on their travels this term, losing just two away games in all competitions.
This will not be an easy task against an improving Lecce side, but Milan’s qualities should get them over the line at the Stadio Via del mare.
