Lecce – AC Milan 
Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 15th position with 0 points and a negative goal difference of -1
Lecce, 14th position with 1 point and a goal difference of “0”
👉 This is a pivotal moment for AC Milan following their disappointing debut in Week 1, where they suffered a loss to Cremonese. Lecce and AC Milan are set to compete in Serie A Week 2 on Friday, 29 August 2025, at the Via del Mare Stadium. AC Milan aims to secure their first Serie A victory of the season.
The pressure is mounting for Milan, as they must secure a victory without exception. Milan’s goal will be to implement a highly aggressive strategy to score goals. It is also hoped that Milan will strive to maintain a clean sheet. Conversely, Lecce will present a determined side, eager for results. In Week 1, Lecce concluded with a scoreless draw against Genoa, earning 1 point for each team. Thus, the situation remains open for both teams. Who will emerge victorious?
Statistics indicate that Lecce has lost 8 and won only one of their 19 Serie A home matches against AC Milan to date, with that lone victory occurring nearly two decades ago. On paper, AC Milan is favored to win this match. A draw would be both a setback for AC Milan and a significant achievement for Lecce. The challenge lies ahead for Milan’s Coach Massimiliano Allegri to demonstrate whether his return to the Rossoneri to restore the team to its former glory is indeed effective or not.
