Lecce vs Atalanta: Match preview
Last season, Lecce were locked in a relegation battle and ultimately preserved their Serie A status by finishing 17th. This campaign presents a similar challenge. After 30 matches, they have collected 27 points and sit in 18th place, level with Cremonese but behind on tiebreakers. Survival is still within reach, but their recent form has been poor, with four defeats and one win in their last five matches.
Atalanta, meanwhile, are pushing for European qualification and remain in contention for a top-six finish. The club made a managerial change earlier this season, which has helped propel La Dea back into the race for European places. After 30 rounds, Atalanta have amassed 50 points and currently sit seventh in the table, just four points behind both fifth and sixth place. They remain firmly in the hunt and will be determined to secure a spot in European competition.
Probable line-ups
- Lecce: Falcone; Veiga, Gabriel, Siebert, Gallo; Ramadani, Ngom; Pierotti, Gandelman, Banda; Stulic
- Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Djimsiti, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi; De Ketelaere, Zalewski; Krstovic
Prediction
Atalanta are fighting for European qualification, while Lecce are battling for survival, so both sides will be highly motivated. However, Atalanta appear the stronger team, and the recommended bet is an away win.
