The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Lecce lock horns with Stefano Pioli's AC Milan side in an important encounter at the San Siro on Sunday.
AC Milan vs Lecce Preview
Lecce are currently in 16th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Sampdoria last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride on the domestic front this season. The Rossoneri were held to a 1-1 draw by Bologna in their previous league game and will need to step up to the plate this weekend.

AC Milan have excelled on the European front this season but have flattered to deceive in the Serie A. With Juventus' penalty reversed in the league table, the Rossoneri face a battle to finish in the top four.
Lecce can pack a punch on their day but have historically struggled at the San Siro. AC Milan are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: AC Milan 3-1 Lecce
