Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Lecce lock horns with Stefano Pioli's AC Milan side in an important clash at the San Siro on Saturday.
AC Milan vs Lecce Preview
Lecce are currently in 13th place in the Serie A standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The away side held AS Roma to a 0-0 stalemate last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form over the past year. The Rossoneri edged Fiorentina to a 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
