Lecce vs Atalanta Prediction: Will the Bergamas be able to rehabilitate themselves in the away game?

Atalanta lost to Napoli in the previous round and has slipped further from first place. Will the Bergamas be able to rehabilitate themselves in the away game against Lecce?

Lecce

Last week, they faced Udinese and played a good game, with Lecce opening the scoring in the first half and losing the lead in the second. They opened the scoring in the first half but then lost the lead in the second half (1:1). It was an excellent draw for the Red-Yellows in a meeting with one of the strongest teams of the first part of the Italian season.

Overall, Lecce has just one win from 13 rounds but already has six draws and a place outside the relegation zone. The Red and Yellow are 16th in the standings, 3 points behind the bottom three.

Atalanta

The team once again failed to put their side to a real test. Atlanta opened the scoring at home to Napoli thanks to a penalty by Ademola Lookman, but they quickly conceded. Then, they conceded again and lost 1:2.

This is Atalanta's second defeat in the last three rounds at the hands of their direct rivals in the battle for the top spot - before that, Bergamo lost 0:2 to Lazio. Atalanta finished fourth in the standings, 8 points behind the top spot.

Expert Betting Tips

Atalanta remains without the injured Luis Muriel. The Colombian has been Bergamo's attacking leader this season, so his absence makes it difficult for Atalanta to create any goal-scoring chances. In a match against a well-defended Lecce, that could be a problem. Likely, Atalanta won't lose to an outsider, but it's also far from certain that they will win.
