AC Milan vs. Lecce: Key facts and stats
➤ AC Milan have won their last four Serie A matches against Lecce, after failing to win three of the previous five (D3); the last time the Rossoneri recorded five consecutive victories against them in the competition was between 1989 and 1993.
➤ US Lecce have won just one of their last 28 Serie A matches against AC Milan (D11 L16), a 1-0 victory on 1st April 2006, with Axel Konan scoring the winning goal.
➤ AC Milan have won 15 of their 19 home Serie A matches against Lecce (79% – D3 L1); among teams faced at home at least that many times in the competition, only against Palermo have the Rossoneri recorded a higher win percentage (83%).
➤ AC Milan (W12 D7) are unbeaten in 19 consecutive Serie A matches within the same league season for the first time since January-May 2004, under Carlo Ancelotti (19-W15 D4). The Rossoneri have not reached 20 consecutive unbeaten matches in the same competition since the first seven months of the 1992-93 season (the first 23 matches without defeat under Fabio Capello).
➤ AC Milan have drawn four of their last five Serie A matches (W1) against teams starting the day in the bottom five of the league table, having won their previous six games against such opponents.
➤ US Lecce have lost their last three Serie A matches against Roma, Parma and Inter. The Salentini last recorded a longer losing run in the league (five matches) in February-March 2025 during Marco Giampaolo’s tenure.
➤ Before Lecce, the last team to play two consecutive away matches against Inter and Milan within a maximum of four days in Serie A was Atalanta between 25th and 28th February 2024 (a 1-1 draw against AC Milan and a 4-0 loss against Inter).
➤ AC Milan completed another comeback against Como last time out, recovering to win after falling behind which means that they have now gained 13 points from losing positions in Serie A this season, a league-high. Meanwhile, Lecce have dropped 10 points from winning positions, the same as Hellas Verona, and fewer only than Fiorentina, Genoa, and Pisa.
➤ Adrien Rabiot, who scored a decisive brace against Como, has never managed to score in two consecutive Serie A matches in his career. His longest scoring streak in Europe’s top five leagues was three matches in February 2025 with Marseille. The Frenchman is one of only three midfielders in the current Serie A season with at least three goals and three assists (alongside Nico Paz and Scott McTominay).
➤ Wladimiro Falcone is the only player not to have missed a single minute in Serie A since the 2022-23 season (since joining Lecce); the Lecce goalkeeper has played 134 matches out of a possible 134 league matchdays in that period.
