Their defenders have conceded 4 goals in their last six outings, while their forwards have scored 10. Atalanta has not been beaten in their last two away league matches.
Lecce and Atalanta have won two recent head-to-head meetings, with Atalanta drawing three. In total, 20 goals were scored, with Giallorossi scoring 7 and La Dea contributing 13. The previous match was Serie A match day 18 on 30/12/2023, with Atalanta having 62% possession and 17 shots on goal, while Lecce had 15 shots on goal and 2 on target. The match was refereed by Ermanno Feliciani.
Lecce manager Luca Gotti will not allow Lameck Banda, Kaba, Dermaku, and Corfitzen to play due to knee surgery, cruciate ligament injuries, and a tear. Giallorossi is expected to use a 4-4-2 formation in the first half.
Atalanta boss Gian Gasperini is addressing player fitness concerns, with Emil Holm and Sead Kolasinac not ready for selection and Teun Koopmeiners suspended.
