Atalanta, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Bologna will not have sat easily with the Atalanta squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they had 40% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 9 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Ademola Lookman will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Atalanta.
Lecce, Recent FormLosing 2-0 away to Inter Milan won't leave the Lecce squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They came away from that fixture with a 32% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Inter Milan, who managed 20 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Roberto D'Aversa will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
It ended in disappointment and a 1-2 defeat for Atalanta last time they met Lecce in the league, with Giallorossi defying the odds to take the win.
In their previous 4 encounters with Atalanta, Giallorossi have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Atalanta has lost the last 2 times they've faced Lecce in the league.
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. José Palomino (Thigh), Gianluca Scamacca (Thigh), Rafael Tolói (Muscle) and El Touré (Tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Pontus Almqvist (Muscle) and Jeppe Corfitzen (Shoulder) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Roberto D'Aversa will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
