2011-10-23 - Lecce vs A.C Milan

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

A.C Milan after a poor start to the season are starting to play well once again. Lecce on the other hand can do nothing right with just one win in their last five games.

A.C Milan are thankful for the International break. They beat Palermo 3-0 last week and in midweek they beat BATE Borisov 2-0 in the Champions League.

Lecce who managed a 0-0 draw at Genoa on Sunday, a result which was acceptable and welcome, as Lecce have only picked up four points from a possible 18 so far.

Lecce are the lowest scorers in Serie A with just 3 goals from their first six games, and the last Lecce goal was scored by Djamel Mesbah against against Atalanta in Week 4.

Still, Milan must not under-estimate Lecce's battling potential, as Lecce did manage a 1-1 draw here last season, and are unbeaten in their last five home games against the Red and Blacks - a sequence of four draws and one win going all the way back to 2002!

Team News :

AC Milan
Rino Gattuso, Alexandre Pato and Mathieu Flamini are out for Milan, while Clarence Seedorf, Thiago Silva and Massimo Ambrosini are doubts for this clash.

That should allow summer signings Alberto Aquilani and Antonio Nocerino to again start in midfield. Philippe Mexes is back from injury as an alternative to Alessandro Nesta or Thiago Silva.

Lecce
Lecce will miss the services of David Di Michele but Di Francesco could use a 4-3-1-2 formation if he decides to go for it or a 4-4-1-1 adopting a more defensive approach.

Possible lineups

Lecce : Benassi; Oddo, Tomovic, Esposito, Mesbah; Obodo, Strasser, Giacomazzi; Grossmuller; Corvia, Pasquato

AC Milan : Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Nocerino, Van Bommel, Aquilani; Robinho; Ibrahimovic, Cassano

Prediction :

Take Milan to win this clash.
