Team Analysis
Milan is currently in a decent position in Serie A, sitting in seventh place with eight points from five matches. The "Rossoneri" have not been as impressive as last season but managed a significant victory against Inter with a 2-1 scoreline, which many did not expect. Although they have some injury concerns, notably Davide Calabria and Ismael Bennacer, Milan still fields a strong team. Their defense, traditionally reliable, has been less so this season, conceding goals in multiple matches.

Lecce, despite being near the relegation zone, has shown potential by creating numerous scoring opportunities. However, their ability to convert these chances into goals has been lacking. Their recent 0-2 loss to Sassuolo highlighted issues in defense and finishing. The team faces additional challenges against Milan, with several key players, including Frederic Guilbert, unavailable due to injuries and suspension.

Head-to-Head
Milan has been dominant in their encounters with Lecce, with Lecce last winning against them in 2006. Since then, Milan has consistently outperformed Lecce, including a 3-0 victory in their most recent meeting in April.

Prediction
Despite Milan's inconsistencies, they are expected to secure a win against Lecce. However, given Milan's defensive lapses this season, Lecce might score. The predicted outcome is a Milan victory with a 2-1 scoreline. Lecce is also anticipated to cover a handicap of +1.5, reflecting their potential to challenge Milan more than expected.

Pick: Lecce +1.5
