Atalanta vs Lecce Prediction
La Dea have lost two of their last 10 league games, with both defeats registered at home. They have suffered just one loss at home against the visitors in the 21st century. Notably, four of their last seven home games in this fixture have ended in draws.
Gianluca Scamacca is nursing a knee injury and is a major doubt. Sead Kolasinac and Mitchel Bakker are confirmed absentees. Ademola Lookman is reportedly back on good terms with the club but is unlikely to start here.
I Salentini are winless in their two league games thus far without scoring and will look to improve upon that record. Notably, they have scored one goal in their last four meetings against the hosts while conceding eight times.
Gaby Jean, Balthazar Pierret, and Mohamed Kaba will miss the trip to Bergamo due to injuries.
La Dea have a good recent record in this fixture and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
