| PROBABLE LINE-UPS |
LECCE  BenassiOddo, Tomovic, Esposito, Mesbah Obodo, Strasser, Giacomazzi Grossmuller Corvia, Paquato | AC MILAN  Abbiati Abate, Nesta, Mexes, Antonini Nocerino, Van Bommel, Aquilani, Robinho Ibrahimovic, Cassano |
Lecce boss Eusebio Di Francesco will be without influential forward David Di Michele, goalkeeper Julio Sergio and defenders Souleymane Diamoutene and Stefano Ferrario for Sunday's clash.
For the visitors, Gennaro Gattuso is still out with a serious eye injury while Alexandre Pato is nursing a thigh problem for the Serie A champions. Thiago Silva trained apart from the rest of the squad and will likely miss the match due to a thigh injury, while Clarence Seedorf is also doubtful.
Captain Massimo Ambrosini, however, has recovered from his shoulder injury and could play a part in Sunday's encounter.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
- Lecce have dropped their first three games at home this season, being outscored 6-1 during
that span.
- Eusebio Di Francesco's men have scored only one goal in their last four encounters.
- Lecce lead the league with 109 fouls this term.
- AC Milan are winless on the road this season, conceding five goals in the process.
- Massimiliano Allegri's men have kept a clean sheet in two out of their last three encounters.
- The Scudetto holders have only picked up one win in their last nine Serie A matches at the Stadio Via del Mare.
Prediction
Lecce have failed to score in their last three matches and that streak of futility looks set to continue as the defending champions come rolling into town. Ibrahimovic and Cassano will lead the charge in what should be a comfortable victory for the visitors.
Editor's Prediction
Lecce 0-2 AC Milan
