Lecce vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-07 17:00.
[p]Lecce failed to score for the fourth game running (D2, L2) in a 1-0 defeat to Fiorentina last week, with this miserable run leaving them just three points above the relegation zone. Marco Giampaolo’s men remain Serie A’s lowest scorers (18), and the arrival of AC Milan is unlikely to inspire confidence as the Giallorossi were beaten 3-0 in the reverse fixture, with all the goals coming in a five-minute blitz before half-time.[/p]
[p]Issues in front of goal are just as prominent on home soil, where Lecce have failed to score in their last four matches (D2, L2), with their last such goal coming in late December. The home fans will be desperate for the drought to end, and can take encouragement from the fact their side have found the net at least once in the last nine league H2Hs they have hosted, losing just twice in that sequence (W1, D6).[/p]
[p]A faltering AC Milan side arrive at Stadio Via del Mare on the back of three successive league defeats, the last of which came at the death against Lazio (2-1). Qualification for any form of European football is therefore in serious doubt, as is the future of recently-appointed boss Sérgio Conceição, who could oversee the Rossoneri’s first set of four successive Serie A defeats since April 1986.[/p]
[p]This appears a perfect opportunity for Milan to halt their recent slump having won the last two H2Hs by a 3-0 scoreline, albeit both came on home turf. The Rossoneri last won three successive league H2Hs in September 2003, and recent away form suggests that wait could continue as their last two Serie A trips ended in defeat – not since May 2015 have they suffered three straight league defeats away from the San Siro.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Lecce have avoided defeat in six of the seven matches Nikola Krstović has scored in this season (W5, D1), with each of his four goals to arrive on home soil decisive in the overall result. Fresh from extending his Milan contract until June 2030, Tijjani Reijnders will hope for better luck in front of goal as three of his last four scoring appearances saw the Rossoneri fail to win (D2, L1).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Ten of Milan’s last 14 league matches have been level at half-time.[/p]
