AC Milan vs Lecce: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 24, 2025

On Tuesday, one of the 1/16 finals of the Coppa Italia will be held at San Siro in Milan, where Milan will face Lecce. Here’s a look at the expected outcome of this match.

Match Preview

Milan started their Coppa Italia journey with a solid 2-0 win over Bari and later gained momentum in the league, recovering from a surprising loss to Cremonese with three straight wins. Notably, all these victories featured clean sheets, including a noteworthy 2-0 win over Lecce in Serie A. Under Massimiliano Allegri’s management, the team has achieved good balance, with experienced players like Rabiot and Modrić strengthening the midfield, while Pulisic and Jiménez have been effective in attack.

The Rossoneri approach this match feeling confident, as they have not won the Coppa Italia since 2003 and are eager to change that. Even with potential lineup changes, Milan remains the favorite due to their strong squad and talent.

On the flip side, Lecce is struggling this season. After a 2-0 win against Juve Stabia in the Coppa Italia, they have managed just one point from four Serie A matches, scoring only twice. Recent losses to Atalanta and Cagliari have highlighted their defensive issues and lack of creativity in attack.

Lecce traditionally struggles to progress far in the Coppa Italia, and their current form does not suggest this year will be different. They are likely to focus on defense and quick wing play, but given the disparities in team strength and past encounters, their chances seem slim.

Probable Lineups

• Milan: Terracciano; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlović; Saelemaekers, Modrić, Rabiot, Fofana, Estupiñán; Pulisic, Jiménez
• Lecce: Falcone; Gallo, Tiago Gabriel, Gaspar, Kouassi; Sala, Ramadani, Koulibaly; Sottil, Stulic, Pierotti
