Public Opinion

Fans believe that Milan should win. Even if the recent results are ignored, a better squad should be able to beat Lecce. At the same time, Lecce’s results have been sufficiently poor for their supporters to expect to lose. Milan fans should be even more confident about winning after securing a 1-2 victory in the Derby. I also believe that the game is likely to end in a Milan victory.

Swot Analysis

AC Milan:

• Strengths: The attack depth with Pulisic and Leão in great form. Their confidence is also high from Derby’s win and have a decent home record.
• Weaknesses: Several key players, including Calabria, Bennacer, and Florenzi, are still out injured with key defensive options.
• Opportunities: Lecce has a poor away record. Milan should be expected to comfortably win this one.
• Threat: Lecce prefers a counter-attacking setup. Milan’s attacking style might be tested if they go too far up.

Lecce:

• Strengths: Lecce can rely on the strong defensive organization when they are forced to stay further back; on a positive note, players like Baschirotto sometimes rise to the occasion.
• Weaknesses: Lecce’s away attacks leave much to be desired, and their failure to score on the road plays into the home sides’ hands.
• Opportunities: Milan has lost a few first-choice defenders to injury, so Lecce might try to expose them by counter-attacking quickly.
• Threats: Milan’s firepower upfront and the good form of Pulisic and Leão may prove too much for Lecce’s defence.

Prediction

From the current form of the game, Milan’s domination and Lecce’s away form, it can be predicted that AC Milan is going to win the match. They will likely win 2-0 or 3-0 unless Lecce’s defense will have a good day.
