AC Milan
- On Sunday, Massimiliano Allegri’s AC Milan plays host to Eusebio Di Francesco’s Lecce in a fascinating fixture between two teams with opposing playing philosophies.
- 2nd in Serie A with 40 points from 19 games (W6, D3, L1 at home), with Allegri’s side having won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 in their last five, following successive 1-1 draws at home to Genoa and away to Fiorentina in Serie A.
- Allegri has no real favourite players and has no particular style of play, preferring a pragmatic set-up with a measured tempo, selective pressing and a well-disciplined structure.
Lecce
- Lecce on the other hand, have seen Di Francesco’s clear philosophy take shape in 2025-26, with his compact 4-3-3 system looking to sit in a disciplined mid-block and hit quickly on the counter-attack.
- Lecce are in poor form with no win from their last 5 Serie A games (D2, L3).
Head-to-Head
AC Milan have won the last two head-to-head matches , including a 3-0 victory here in the Coppa Italia three months ago .
