Lecce - Milan predictions

While Lecce winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Milan, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by AC Milan. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Serie A but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

When we talk about Lecce’s previous Serie A result, it’s fair to say hosts can be pretty happy to have avoided a heavier defeat. They were the 5.07 underdogs last time out and a narrow Fiorentina HT/FT loss is not something to scoff at.

The away team’s previous Serie A outing was a close call from the get-go: betting odds saw the two teams as equally-matched, though The Rossoneri did have the support of their home fans. However, they quickly fell behind in the first half and failed to catch up until the bitter end, ultimately recording a 1:2 loss.

The previous two matches Lecce played in all ended with fewer than 2 goals at the final whistle. That doesn’t make for exciting football, but may be useful information if you’re planning a Goals Scored bet.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Serie A engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Lecce are placed 16th in the standings with 3 points separating them from the relegation zone. Though the season’s end is approaching, the teams placed below them will be scrambling to stay in the Serie A, and Lecce are heading into a difficult matchup.

As far as the head-to-head history goes, this is the second time we’ll be seeing these two squads clash this season. Milan decisively won that first match, and they’re still seen as the favourites despite playing as the away team.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at Lecce,

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 4.94 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
