&lt;p&gt;After picking up eleven points from their opening five matches this league season (W3, D2), Lecce have only achieved two points in their last six Serie A TIM matches, losing their two most recent games against Torino and Roma. Although they remain clear of the bottom three, the Salentini haven’t tasted victory since beating Genoa on 22 September.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan, who are heading into the game on the back of a crucial Champions League win against PSG, have also struggled recently: the Rossoneri have lost two of their last three league matches (D1), as many defeats as they’d suffered in their previous 19 (W13, D4). Stefano Pioli’s men haven’t lost two consecutive fixtures in Serie A TIM since the period between January and February 2023 (three successive defeats against Lazio, Sassuolo and Inter).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After falling to a 1-0 loss at home to Udinese, AC Milan could go two league games in a row without scoring for the first time since April 2022 (two 0-0 draws against Bologna and Torino back then).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan have received 29 cards in the Italian top flight this campaign (27 yellows and two reds); only Lecce (34: 32 yellows and two reds) and Juventus (30) have been given more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan are the team Lecce have drawn the most matches against in Serie A TIM: twelve out of 34 games, with 20 Rossoneri victories and two wins for the Salentini completing the picture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan are unbeaten in 22 of their last 23 games against Lecce in Serie A TIM (W12, D10); the exception was the Puglians’ 1-0 victory on 1 April 2006 (1-0 with a goal from Axel Konan).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce are undefeated in nine of their last twelve home matches against AC Milan in Serie A TIM (W1, D8), finding the net in ten of these games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nicola Sansone has scored five goals against AC Milan in the league; he hasn’t done better against any other side in the Italian top flight (5 goals against Inter, too).

In 2023, no AC Milan player has had more goal contributions than the Portuguese man in the Italian top flight: 19 (12 goals and 7 assists), level with Giroud (14 goals and 5 assists). Leão could become the second Rossonero to be directly involved in at least 20 Serie A TIM goals in two consecutive calendar years in the last 20 seasons, following in the footsteps of Zlatan Ibrahimovic (in 2011 and 2012).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Rafia and Ramadani (Lecce)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Abisso (Peretti-Mokhtar), IV: Rapuano, VAR: Guida, AVAR: Nasca&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A TIM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hellas Verona vs. Lecce (Monday 27 November, 18:30 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan vs. Fiorentina (Saturday 25 November, 20:45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Foto LaPresse)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
