Serie A: AC Milan vs Lecce
At 21:00 Beijing time on April 6, 2024, in the 31st round of Serie A, the "Rossoneri" AC Milan will face Lecce at home. AC Milan has performed well this season, with 20 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses after 30 league rounds, ranking second in Serie A with 65 points, although there is little hope of winning the title, but it is 13 points higher than Roma in 5th place, which shows that the Rossoneri's Champions League qualification is still relatively secure. AC Milan have been in extremely strong form recently, not only winning six in a row, but also unbeaten in seven consecutive matches, but it is worth noting that the team has conceded goals in the last three games, which shows that the team's defense is not stable and there are still some holes.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli said: "We are full of hunger, we are in a big part of the season and we are in good shape, both mentally and at the level of play. We've won four games in a row but we've never won five in a row and tomorrow will be a chance. Lecce have yet to concede a goal since the change of manager and caused a lot of trouble for Roma in the last game, which should not be underestimated. ”
Lecce's performance has improved this season, you know, the team was relegated last season in the safety zone, and after 30 rounds of league games this season, it has achieved 6 wins, 11 draws and 13 losses, ranking 12th in the league with 29 points, only 4 points above Sassuolo in the relegation zone, which shows that the team still has a lot of relegation pressure. Judging from the data, Lecce has scored 26 goals and conceded 45 goals in 30 league games this season, and the offensive and defensive performance is very unsatisfactory.
Lecce's recent form has picked up, and they are unbeaten in two consecutive matches, which has a lot to do with the change of manager. The team played Roma at home in the last round of the league, with 39% possession and 6 shots on target from 27 attempts, more than twice as many shots as their opponents. In addition, Lecce has a worrying ability to play away from home this season, with 1 win, 6 draws and 8 losses in 15 league away games, ranking 16th in the league away from home.
In terms of past meetings between the two teams, AC Milan have played Lecce in the last 10 times, with an unbeaten record of 6 wins and 4 draws, and the past record advantage is very obvious, while the first leg of this season was a 2-2 draw away from home. In terms of recent results, AC Milan have been in very strong form recently, with consecutive wins in the team, but there are some problems in defence, while Lecce's recent form has improved significantly, and the team's morale has been greatly boosted after the change of manager. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, the home team has been given obvious support, combined with the strength and recent situation of both sides, it is not difficult for AC Milan to score all three points in this game.
