AC Milan can fan the flames of what’s left in this season’s Serie A title race with a home win over Lecce. Watch live for free on Fubo.
The race for this season’s Serie A crown may be all but over, but an AC Milan side riding high on the back of six consecutive wins will attempt to keep things interesting at home to Lecce on Saturday. The Rossoneri enter Week 31 sat second in Italy’s top flight and 14 points off bitter rival Inter Milan, but keeping keeping their win streak alive will also preserve what’s left of a title chase this term. And Stefano Pioli’s side have some unfinished business with Lecce after losing a two-goal lead to draw in the reverse fixture back in November when Olivier Giroud saw a controverial red in the closing phases.

The 37-year-old Frenchman is in as bad a need as any Milan player to produce a positive performance this weekend, currently on his worst scoring drought of the season after failing to score in five league games.
Not that it’s hampered Milan’s form at all, with the club making the most of Juventus’ recent dip in results to move back to second and all but guaranteed to qualify for next term’s Champions League.
Pioli & Co. came away as winners at Fiorentina last season after Rafael Leao turned in a masterclass, bagging the winner after teeing up team-mate Ruben Loftus-Cheek in sensational style:
That marked a fourth straight road victory for the Rossoneri in all competitions, having also mauled Slavia Prague 7-3 across two legs to reach the last eight of the Europa League.
That may be the club’s best chance at silverware this season, with the Serie A slalom effectively reduced to a one-horse race thanks to Inter’s dominant form in recent months.
Lecce is more than two months removed from its most recent home win and comes into Saturday’s showdown just four points off the relegation zone.
The club has shown promise under new manager Luca Gotti and is yet to so much as concede a goal in his two outings as chief to date, though that record will be pushed to the limit at the San Siro.
