JAKARTA - AC Milan will play an away match to Lecce's headquarters at the Via del Mar Stadium on Saturday, November 11 at 21.00 WIB. In that match Stefano Pioli's team targeted three points as a mandatory result.

The target came after they showed a decline in their performance in the last three matches in the Italian Serie A 2023/2024. The Rossoneri recorded two defeats and only won one draw.

AC Milan's two defeats were accepted against Juventus (0-1) and Udinese (0-1). One draw was won by AC Milan against Napoli (2-2).

This bad result made Stefano Pioli's squad in third place with 22 points. This acquisition makes Milan now four points away from Juventus who are in second place, and six points from Inter Milan who are at the top of the standings.

This record is certainly very detrimental to AC Milan who are eyeing the Scudetto title this season. In order to top the standings, AC Milan needs at least three consecutive wins.

However, this opportunity is still open to AC Milan, because currently Serie A is still running 11 matches. AC Milan can get an opportunity to overtake Juventus by winning over Lecce in the 12th week.

In the host camp, the situation is not much different either. Currently Lecce is also experiencing bad luck. The negative trend still surrounds Lecce because in the last five matches not a single win has been obtained.

Lecce has lost three and drew twice in the last five matches. The match against AC Milan is expected to be a tough test for Lecce.

AC Milan also needs a win in order to continue to compete at the top of the standings. Meanwhile, Lecce also needed an additional three points to improve his position.

Currently Lecce ranks 13th with 13 points, the result of the last 11 matches. With that note, the Lecce vs AC Milan match is predicted to be tough and fierce, considering that both teams really need an additional three points.

Lecce: Wladimiro Falcone, Valentin Gendrey, Marin Pongracic, Ahmed Touba, Antonino happened, Ylber Ramadani, Mohamed Kaba, Hamza Rafia, Pontus Almqvist, Gabriel Strefezza, Nikola Krstovic.

AC Milan: Antonio Mirante, Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, Alessandro Florenzi, Yunus Musah, Yacine Adli, Tijjani Reijnders, Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leao.
