Atalanta, Recent FormAtalanta will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their away fixture against Lazio. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 23 strikes at goal, with 10 hitting the target, up against Lazio's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Gian Piero Gasperini will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 17 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, he will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late. Few teams have managed to keep La Dea away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
When home matches come round at Gewiss Stadium, Ademola Lookman will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 6 goals in Atalanta's last 6 home league matches.
Lecce, Recent FormLecce will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Roma, not least because of the valuable point gained. In that game they recorded 42 % of the possession, with 8 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager Marco Baroni will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 19 of their 22 league games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 5 away games out of 11 this season, Baroni will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Lecce, Lorenzo Colombo will be looking to add more goals against Atalanta in this match.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Lecce sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 2-1.
Giallorossi have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Atalanta. Playing away from home, Lecce have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Atalanta. La Dea have an impressive record of scoring goals against Lecce, with a tally of 13 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
In the league, Atalanta has had a good run at home against Lecce, being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings at Gewiss Stadium.
There is only really one injury concern for the Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini ahead of this clash, with Mario Pašalić (Ankle) missing out, which gives Gasperini a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Marco Baroni has a number of injury concerns in his Lecce squad to contend with: Kastriot Dermaku (Hamstring), Youssef Maleh (Ankle) and Marin Pongračić (Ankle)
