"Lecce have hit a bit of a slump, following what was a decent start to the season, and they are facing a difficult task against AC Milan at San Siro tomorrow. At this point, Milan and Lecce are very familiar with each other, having squared off in the league and also in the Coppa Italia. Tomorrow's clash, as such, will be the third meeting this season and the away side could really use a good result to bounce back."
"One of the big summer signings, Nikola Stulic, has been unable to fill the boots of his namesake Nikola Krstovic, who left for Atalanta. The Serbian has scored just twice in 19 appearances and it's one explanation as to why Lecce only have 13 goals so far (lowest in the league!). With that goal production, you are always going to struggle for points and that has been the case for Lecce."
"The recent 1-1 draw against Juventus was certainly a confidence boost for the team, and it also acts as a warning to teams like Milan. The Bianconeri made one mistake on the edge of the box and Lameck Banda, one of the stars, found the back of the net with a great strike. In order to get a result against Milan, however, it's key players like Banda, Wladimiro Falcone, Jamil Siebert and Ylber Ramadani that will have to step up."
Lecce have slipped into a slump after a decent start and will face a difficult trip to AC Milan at San Siro. Milan and Lecce have already met twice this season in Serie A and Coppa Italia. Manager Eusebio Di Francesco presides over mixed results and several injuries and suspensions, including Berisha, Camarda, Gaspar and Veiga. Goal production has been poor: summer signing Nikola Stulic has scored just twice in 19 appearances and Lecce have only 13 league goals, the fewest in the division. The team has eked out several narrow 1-0 wins and earned a morale-boosting 1-1 draw with Juventus. Key contributors such as Lameck Banda, Wladimiro Falcone, Jamil Siebert and Ylber Ramadani must perform better to secure positive results.
