Milan will be looking to bounce back from a nightmare start to their Serie A season when visit Lecce on Friday night.
In Max Allegri's first league game back in charge, the Rossoneri fell to a shock 2-1 loss at the San Siro to regional rivals Cremonese despite dominating in all facets bar the one that matters most.
Lecce started off with a goalless draw away to Genoa, and are aiming to end a 14-game winless run against Milan at the Stadio Via del mare.
The Sporting News previews this one with the latest betting odds, tips and predictions.
