Milan return to San Siro on Sunday night knowing that the fifth round already carries an uncomfortable weight. Lecce arrive at the Meazza with six points, fresh from beating Monza, and with the chance to move above the Rossoneri should they leave Milan with all three.
Key takeaways
- Milan host Lecce at 20:45 on Sunday in the closing match of Serie A’s fifth weekend.
- The fixture will be played at the Stadio Meazza in Milan.
- Federico La Penna of the Rome 1 section has been appointed referee.
- Lecce have collected six points, including three in their most recent match against Monza.
- A Lecce victory would take the Giallorossi ahead of Milan in the table.
Milan seek an immediate response
The league standings have not yet become a crisis for Milan, but the concern around the side is rooted in its recent performances. Their last Serie A outing against Lazio showed two very different faces: a poor first half followed by a more convincing response after the interval.
The European debut then brought another setback, deepening the sense that the team have lost both fluency and conviction. Amorim is not under immediate threat, but the coach needs a reaction from his players quickly. At this stage of the season, Milan are being judged less by their position than by the lack of a clear identity on the pitch.
Lecce therefore come to the Meazza at a potentially awkward moment for the home club. The visitors can approach the occasion with greater calm after their win over Monza, while Milan must turn a difficult week into a convincing home performance.

La Penna will take charge of the match, assisted by Lo Cicero and Vecchi. Tremolada has been named fourth official, while Maggioni will oversee VAR with Santoro as assistant VAR.
