Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sunday's football game at Stadio San Siro pits together Milan and Lecce, the two teams with totally different ambitions in the season finale. The Rossoneri aim to represent Italy in the Champions League for yet another season, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Lecce. Davide Calabria is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while both Rafael Leao and Brahim Diaz are pushing for a start.
The visitors, on the other hand, are sitting in the danger zone, and given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Earlier in the process the teams played out a 2-2 draw, but home win should be considered this time out. Marin Pongracic should be the only absentee in the visiting team as fellow defender Kastriot Dermaku is back to contention.
Highlighted Player (Simon Kjaer):
Simon Kjaer began his senior career at FC Midtjylland and in 2008 he moved to Italy, signing a deal with Palermo. The Danish footballer scored his first goal for Palermo on 2 November in a 3-0 victory over Chievo Verona.

Highlighted Team (Lecce):
When you imagine a yellow-red shirt, Lecce must be the first club that comes to your mind. Founded back in 1908, Lecce are Italian club that will compete in the Serie A in the 2019/2020 season. The Giallorossi return to the Italian top flight following a seven-year absence and, as always, they will host their rivals at Stadio Via del Mare.
