*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

AC Milan scored a late winner to secure bragging rights against derby rivals Inter Milan last weekend and with a kick in their step, the 1/3 favourites should have the edge over struggling Lecce on Friday evening.

Lecce limped to a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Serie B’s Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday and the 13/2 underdogs have won only once in six attempts in all competitions overall. You can check out more of our Serie A football tips on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Christian Pulisic

USA international Christian Pulisic has been a consistent goal threat for AC Milan this season and the versatile forward managed to find the net in each of the Rossoneri’s last three matches.

Pulisic is a potential match winner

Pulisic, who has notched four times in his last four runouts for club and country overall, has been averaging 1.80 shots and 2.80 key passes per game for Milan in Serie A this term and the 26-year-old could be a game-changing for the Rossoneri again on Friday.
