The previous confrontation between these clubs ended in a draw.

Leeds United are all set to lock horns with AC Milan in a pre-season club friendly match. Aviva Stadium is ready to witness the interesting encounter between these teams.

Leeds United have come up with a couple of decent performances in their current pre-season run. First, they secured a draw against Manchester United and later ended on level terms against Villarreal. They will compete in the English Premier League in the upcoming season, and now will take on Serie A giants to help them prepare for the 2025-26 season.

AC Milan have also played some pre-season games in 2025. They are coming in after securing a dominating 9-0 win against Perth Glory. Rossoneri will be looking to secure yet another win, but it is not going to be an easy outing for them as the Peacocks will put up a strong fight against them.

Players to Watch

Joel Piroe (Leeds United)

Joel Piroe has an important job in his hands when Leeds United face AC Milan next. The Peacocks are going to face a tough challenge, and the 26-year-old Dutch forward will be looking to step up and help his side by scoring a goal or two. He is coming in after scoring a crucial equaliser in their fixture against Villarreal.

Rafael Leao (AC Milan)

The Portuguese winger is coming in after scoring a brace in Milan’s 9-0 win against Perth Glory. Rafael Leao has been one of the most consistent players for the Rossoneri and will yet again be looking to drop a top performance. It will be interesting to see him on the field against Leeds United.
