Lecce will take on AC Milan on Saturday, 8 December in a match between two of Serie A's most out-of-form teams.
Lecce come into the match in the thick of a relegation battle and are currently just three points clear of Empoli in 18th position.
AC Milan, meanwhile, are having a torrid time and currently sit in ninth position in the league table. A push for Europe is now perhaps beyond them.

Lecce preview: Looking to cling on again
Lecce have had another difficult season in Serie A and the January sale of Patrick Dorgu to Manchester United hasn't helped them. They have finished 14th and 16th twice since their return to the top flight three years ago and they would gladly take a similar position this time around with just 11 games to go.
Predicted lineup: Falcone (GK), Guilbert, Baschirotto, Jean, Gallo, Coulibaly, Pierret, Pierotti, Helgason, Morente, Krstovic

AC Milan preview: Conceicao under pressure
Sergio Conceicao was only appointed as the AC Milan boss in December but rumours are already swirling that he could be replaced in the summer. His side's form since crashing out of the Champions League has been alarming, to say the least, and another defeat on Saturday would only ramp up the pressure more on the Portuguese manager.

Player to watch: Rafael Leao
Rafael Leao has not had a good season by his usual standard with just six goals and six assists to his name in Serie A so far this season. His body language at times has been that of a player who has checked out and what happens in the summer with him is something to keep an eye on. For the remainder of the season, he could do with rediscovering what makes him such a tricky customer.
