Leece vs AC Milan Preview

Tournament: Serie A

Date: 30th August, 2025

Kick-off Time: 6:45 PM (GMT)

Venue: Stadio Comunale Via del Mare

Leece is ready to lock horns with the mighty AC Milan at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare for Gameweek 2 on 30th August, 2025. It would be a thrilling match given that both sides have had a shaky start in the 2025-26 campaign. Leading up to the fixture, Leece have a 50% win rate when we look at their last 2 Serie A home games. On the other hand, the Rossoneri had to endure 2 big defeats in their last 4 games in Serie A. While the momentum is on the side of Leece, when it comes to H2H stats, Leece have been on the losing side four times in their last six meetups across all leagues. Even though Leece began their Serie A campaign with a goalless draw against Patrick Viera's side, their defensive solidity had a lot of promise.

Before their league fixture, they began their 2025-26 season with a comfortable 2-0 win against Juve Stabia as they met during the first round of Coppa Italia. While their defensive performance promises a great season, it is their attack that needs to be worked on if they want to finish the season in a good position in the table. Their next hurdle to that road comes in the form of AC Milan, who are somehow at a disadvantage coming into this fixture. Even though the arrival of Massimiliano Allegri promised a lot for AC Milan and the fans, there have yet to be any positive signs for the Italian giants. Before enduring a 2-1 loss at home against Cremonese, a newly-promoted side, AC Milan began their 2025-26 season with a 2-0 win in the Coppa Italia's first round. The Rossoneri would definitely like to get rid of the bitter taste of losing when they face Leece on 30th August. Both of these teams miss some big names from their squad due to injury and suspensions. Who will come out on top? Tune in on 30th August to find out!

Leece News

Leece will definitely miss Gaby Jean and Filip Marchwinski, who have been sidelined for a long time now. They have had multiple outgoings prior to the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign. One of the marquee players, Federico Baschirotto, has joined the newly-promoted side, Cremonese, and was one of the scorers in the last match. Their star forward Pierotti is still a question when it comes to the starting XI. As far as defense goes, Gaspar and Gallo both are expected to start. Coulibaly and Berisha are expected to retain their position in the midfield. Camarda will lead the line from the front.

AC Milan News

AC Milan had quite a few outgoings in the season. Their main man in the midfield, Tijjani Reijnders, has jumped ship and joined Manchester City. Moreover, marquee players such as Theo Hernandez, Malick Thiaw, and others have also departed. Rafael Leao is sidelined due to a calf injury, leaving fewer options to Allegri.

Both Pavlovic and Tomori are expected to start in the defense. Luka Modric will lead the midfield along with Loftus-Cheek and Fofana. At the front line, we will see the pair of Pulisic and Gimenez again.

Key players to watch in Leece vs AC Milan

Christian Pulisic (AC Milan)

Given the state of AC Milan right now, if there is one player who will shine the brightest when the team needs inspiration, it is Christian Pulisic. The forward joined the Rossoneri back in 2023 after playing for Chelsea for four long seasons. Over three seasons in Serie A, he has become a fan favorite due to his work ethic and crucial contributions in important matches. Pulisic finished the 2024-25 season for AC Milan with 50 appearances across all competitions, scoring 17 goals and bagging 10 assists.

In the 2 appearances made by the American forward in the 2025-26 season, he already scored one goal and will look forward to putting his name on the score sheet against Milan's important fixture against Leece.

Francesco Camarda (Leece)

Among the threats within this Leece team, Francesco Camarda, the forward on loan, is the biggest concern for AC Milan's 3-man defense.

After having 18 appearances for Milan Futuro, Francesco Camarda was sent on loan to Leece. In the 2024-25 season, he had 5 goals. His movements on and off the ball are impressive. But it is his sound tactical knowledge of the game that makes him a handful for the Milan defenders. In the 2 appearances Francesco Camarda has had so far for Leece, he already bagged an assist and is now looking to open his scoring spree. If there is any player that the Milan defenders need to have a close eye on, it is Francesco Camarda.

Leece vs AC Milan Prediction

There is no doubt that Leece have the momentum on their side. Moreover, the team is in great sync even after seeing some of the key players leave this summer. On the other hand, AC Milan are yet to have a convincing starting XI that can bring consistent results without fail. Given the number of departures and marquee absences, Allegri has yet to achieve that. For the last couple of seasons, Leece have somehow managed to keep themselves out of harm's way. However, ‘making it’ is not an expectation anymore. They will look forward to a better finish on the table. As of now, they will face a 3-5-2 side in the form of AC Milan that is managed by Allegri. Even though the Rossoneri lacked conversion in the final third, it is only a matter of time before things begin to click. Given the expected midfield dominance of Milan, the hosts might not be able to catch up if they trail the game even once.

Predicted Score: Leece 0-1 AC Milan
