Goals galore and Allegri doubts: All the key stats ahead of Lecce vs. Milan

AC Milan will be up against Lecce in the second round of Serie A tonight, hoping to do a little bit better than they did in the opener. Like last time out, the stats and H2H record are on their side. 

The defeat against Cremonese was a big blow for the Rossoneri, but also a wake-up call as some changes have been made to the mercato strategy. In any case, with no new reinforcements just yet, Max Allegri must improve with the current squad for tonight’s game against Lecce.

Thankfully, the Curva Sud have confirmed that they will return to chanting tonight, which should give the team a big boost even if it’s away from home. We can only hope that they will be back fully at San Siro too, but we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves.
