Lecce vs Milan

The Rossoneri travel to Lecce: here is all you need to know about the Via del Mare match.

Five matches are on the Sunday: Sassuolo v Lazio at 12:30 CET, Torino v Spezia and Udinese v Bologna at 15:00 CET, Atalanta v Salernitana at 18:00 CET and Roma v Fiorentina at 20:45 CET. The 47-year-old from Schio is nearing his 264th appearance in Serie A and will cross the Rossoneri's path for the 33rd time in the top flight: the current tally is 13 wins, 11 draws and 8 defeats. In Lecce, it will be a very difficult match because they are very confident, they are doing well on the pitch, mentally and physically". An important comeback for the Salentini as well: Coach Baroni will have the Giallorossi captain Hjulmand back, who after serving a disqualification will resume his place at the centre of Lecce's midfield, flanked by Blin and González. Good news in the Rossoneri's camp, where there is a great desire for redemption after the last few games: Simon Kjær and Divock Origi are back available, as confirmed by Coach Pioli in the press conference. A hostile ground, an opponent in very good form, but in the Rossoneri's camp there is a great desire to find the victory and restart, in terms of morale, before the Super Cup against Inter.

A good performance is needed after two disappointing results, also because Milan will face Inter in the Supercoppa Italiana on Wednesday. He was previously a board member of the club and his good work there earned him the promotion. The Rossoneri’s recently appointed CEO, Giorgio Furlani, will be present.

Milan are in desperate need for a clean sheet and three points, Lecce will be tough and tricky for Pioli to navigate.

The striker is potent but needs better delivery to perform, Pioli need to ensure he is brought into the game so he can get off the mark for the year. Tomori’s attitude in the recent games and his constant bickering with Tatarusanu are showing the cracks in our defence. The side need to recover some points and gets the starters firing again ahead of the Super Cup.

Stefano Pioli will make quite a few changes to the starting XI compared to the mid-week clash, as you would expect, reverting to the usual eleven.

Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 and it remains to be seen how the Rossoneri will respond. Tonali is suspended and will be replaced by Tommaso Pobega or Aster Vranckx, with the latter currently ahead as per Gazzetta Dello Sport. Milan failed to beat Roma and then went on to lose against Torino in the Coppa Italia.
