What time is kick-off for AC Milan vs Lecce?

AC Milan vs Lecce kicks off at 19:45 BST on Sunday, 20 September 2026, at San Siro in Milan. Full details, including the build-up, are on the match page.

AC Milan's recent form

AC Milan have not lost a Serie A match in their last four league outings, but the run has flattened out. They beat Torino 2-1 away and Venezia 2-0 at home before drawing 1-1 at Juventus and then 2-2 at home to Lazio. In midweek they lost 2-0 to Benfica in the UEFA Europa League, a game in which the squad was heavily rotated.

Lecce's recent form

Lecce's results have swung from one extreme to the other. They were beaten 4-0 away at AS Roma and lost 1-0 at Cagliari, but sandwiched around those defeats they won 2-0 away at Venezia and then beat Monza 3-2 in their most recent Serie A outing on 13 September 2026. They were also knocked out of the Coppa Italia, losing 2-0 at Palermo.

Team news for AC Milan vs Lecce

Head coach Rúben Amorim is expected to go back to a stronger AC Milan side after rotating heavily for the Benfica match, with Luka Modrić and Adrien Rabiot both set to return in midfield. Christian Pulisic is in contention for his first start of the season.

Lecce head into the game with injury concerns of their own. Manager Eusebio Di Francesco is without midfielders Medon Berisha and Omri Gandelman, and forward Willem Geubbels is also sidelined, leaving the visitors short of options going forward.

AC Milan vs Lecce prediction

AC Milan will beat Lecce in this Serie A meeting at San Siro. Milan's recent draws against Juventus and Lazio came with a weakened side managing a busy fixture list, and the return of Modrić, Rabiot and potentially Pulisic should sharpen them up at home. Lecce have shown they can score, with three goals against Monza last time out, but the absences of Berisha, Gandelman and Geubbels strip out a chunk of their attacking and midfield options away from home.
