Tonight, at 20:45 CEST, AC Milan will host Lecce at San Siro in a match valid for the sixth round of Serie A. The Rossoneri, fresh off a 2-1 derby win against Inter, aim to consolidate their position in the standings and reassert themselves in the race for the top spots.
For the Rossoneri side, it will be crucial to capitalise on offensive opportunities and maintain solid defensive organisation to avoid Lecce's counterattacks, as they have already shown they can be dangerous in quick transitions.

The possible choices of Paulo Fonseca's AC Milan and Luca Gotti's Lecce
The Rossoneri are expected to line up with the classic 4-2-3-1 formation. Maignan in goal, with Emerson, Gabbia, Tomori, and Theo completing the defensive line. Reijnders and Fofana are likely to be confirmed in front of the defence.
Pulisic and Leao are untouchable on the flanks, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is expected to play behind the sole striker who shall be Tammy Abraham since Alvaro Morata is not in an ideal physical condition.
Gotti’s Lecce is preparing for the match with a 4-4-2 formation: Falcone in goal. Dorgu and Gallo on the wings, while Gaspar and Baschirotto are expected to be the central defenders. Ramadani and Coulibaly should play in the midfield, with Tete Morente and Banda on the sides. Upfront, the likely duo is Rebic-Krstovic.
