Leao Lifts Milan to Temporary Lead as Serie A Weekend Pivots to Juve-Lecce and Atalanta-Roma

Inter can retake top spot against Bologna, with selections across the round affected by suspensions, injuries and AFCON.

Overview

  • AC Milan beat Cagliari 1-0 on January 2 thanks to Rafael Leao’s second‑half finish from an Adrien Rabiot assist, moving to 38 points and first place pending Inter-Bologna.
  • Juventus host Lecce today at 18:00, live on DAZN (also on Sky channel 214 for DAZN 1 subscribers), with Lecce coach Eusebio Di Francesco suspended and a 24-man squad named that includes Gaspar and Banda back from AFCON, Berisha injured and Coulibaly still away.
  • Juventus’ probable XI, as reported, features Di Gregorio in goal; Kalulu, Bremer and Koopmeiners or Kelly in the back three; McKennie and Cambiaso wide with a Locatelli/Koopmeiners midfield call alongside Thuram; Yildiz and Conceicao behind a striker, with Openda likely to start and David an in-game alternative.
  • Atalanta vs Roma is scheduled for 20:45 in Bergamo with Gian Piero Gasperini returning as Roma coach, and the match is available on DAZN and Sky per broadcasters’ listings.
  • Inter face Bologna on Sunday at 20:45 needing a win to reclaim first, with previews noting a recent Bologna lull, a Castro‑Dallinga selection race up front and odds leaning toward a low‑scoring game.
