Italian Serie A picks for Lecce vs. AC Milan

Before you tune in to Sunday's match, you need to see the Italian Serie A picks from betting expert Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe. 

Sutton finished 2022 as SportsLine's top soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He also excelled in Serie A with a 63-39-1 mark, returning nearly $1,600.

For AC Milan vs. US Lecce, Sutton is picking Lecce to finish the match without a goal at -120 odds. Although the Salentini have found the back of the net in their last two matches, they endured a stretch of five consecutive matches before that in which they were held off the score sheet. That sample is indicative of how Lecce has struggled to create goal-scoring opportunities, and they put a league-low 2.73 shots on target per 90 minutes this season.

Lecce has struggled to even create opportunities relative to other Serie A clubs, and has produced the second-fewest shot-creating actions per 90 minutes (17.53). Brazilian attacker Gabriel Strefezza is Lecce's top goal-scorer, with seven in league play this season, but he hasn't scored since February 4. Meanwhile, Milan's opponents have had the fifth-fewest touches in their defensive third this year, which suggests that Lecce is going to have trouble even threatening to score on Sunday. Stream the game here.
