Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Milan managed just two clean sheets in their final 10 road games last season and that run includes a 3-2 win at this ground back in March. Lecce had scored in four consecutive games prior to their 0-0 draw at Genoa last week and goals at both ends has been a feature of this fixture, landing in each of the last seven meetings between these sides at this venue. Both teams look capable of scoring here.

AC Milan 2-1

Reason for tip

Milan slipped to a defeat at home to a promoted team last week but it was an unfortunate loss and they can bounce back here. The Rossoneri are unbeaten in 14 games against Lecce, winning the last three, and with goals at both ends expected a 2-1 away win has a chance.

Milan in need of a response

AC Milan suffered a shock home defeat to promoted Cremonese in the opening round of Serie A fixtures and now face another potential banana skin as they head to Lecce on Friday.

The hosts looked destined for the drop for large periods last season but a run of seven points from their final three games saw them finish three points clear of danger.

Lecce held Genoa to a goalless draw on the road in their own league opener, and are now on a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions stretching back to their survival push last term.

Both teams to score the starting point

Milan are the odds-on favourites but hold little appeal at the current prices even if I am expecting a Rossoneri response.

The better angle could be backing both teams to score at around evens as the Milan backline looked suspect in away games last season, and they conceded twice at the San Siro last weekend.

Milan managed just two clean sheets in their final 10 road games last season and that run includes a 3-2 win at this ground back in March. Lecce had the worst attack in the league last season but there have been some encouraging signs of late. I Salentini had scored in four successive games prior to their blank at Genoa and they also scored in all of their pre-season games.

Both teams have scored in each of the last seven games between these teams at this venue and that pattern could well continue on Friday.

Milan can steal the points

Milan came unstuck against Cremonese but in truth they were incredibly unlucky not to take at least a point and probably should have picked up all three.

The Rossoneri haven’t lost to Lecce since 2006 – a run stretching 14 games – and they’ve won each of the last three meetings, so the visitors should be able to grind out a win and a 2-1 victory for the visitors is the pick.

Christian Pulisic scored in Milan’s cup win over Bari earlier this month and he had a couple of chances without scoring last weekend. The USA international is a strong contender for an anytime goal on Friday.
