LiontipsLecce - Atalanta: betting tip (cf 3.60) and bets on the Serie A match
Command Analysis
Current form
Lecce is approaching the 31st round of Serie A, being in the relegation zone. Cremonese's luck in the last round, as well as two consecutive defeats, shifted Giallarossi from 17th to 18th place in the standings. At the same time, the lag from the saving place is only in terms of additional indicators. Eusebio Di Francesco's men are playing much better at home than away. If you go into details, you've managed to score points in three of the last four games. It was not possible to do this only in the confrontation with Inter (0:2). In the first round, Lecce couldn't do anything against today's opponent, losing on the road with a score of 1:4. Of course, the team will try to perform better on its own field.
It is unfair to blame the players for the last two defeats, because first the team lost to Napoli (1:2), and then to Roma (0:1). Both rivals are in the top 6 of the best clubs in the country. The problem is that the upcoming opponent is in good shape and is racing at full speed to get into the European Cup six. Taking points against such a powerfully motivated opponent, even on your own field, will not be an easy task.
The number of injured players is also not encouraging. Five players are in the Giallarossi infirmary, and, of course, this does not add to optimism, especially in such confrontations as the match against Atalanta.
Disqualifications and injuries
Camarda, Coulibaly, Gaspar, Sottil, Berisha are injured and will not play today.
Interesting betting trends
- Lecce have lost their last two matches.
- In the last five matches, the hosts conceded
- In four of the previous six rounds, Lecce lost to their rivals in terms of the number of corners.
Approximate line–up: Falcone - Veiga, Siebert, T. Gabriel, Gallo – Ngom, Ramadani – Pierotti, Gandelman, Banda – Stuhlich
Current form
Last summer, Ivan Juric was appointed head coach of Atalanta. Under his mentorship, the club failed badly in the game plan and was not even in the top 10. Unsatisfactory results forced the management to make drastic replacements. Jurich was fired, and Rafael Palladino was invited to replace him. It took a while for the 41-year-old Italian specialist to find a middle ground, but he succeeded, and now the Bergamasques are playing the way they were expected to at the beginning of the season. The unbeaten streak in the national championship currently continues for three consecutive matches: two draws and a victory. The upcoming opponent is among the three weakest teams in the league, so there is a great chance to continue scoring points.
Atalanta can fully concentrate on its performances in Serie A, because the team could not do anything against Bayern in the Champions League playoffs. Maybe the relegation from the European Cup was beneficial, because immediately after that, the club's unbeaten streak was interrupted, which lasted six matches in a row. The guests do not have any major problems with the starting lineups, so the bookmakers' quotes are completely on the guests' side. The main thing is not to underestimate the enemy.
Disqualifications and injuries
Keane and Skamakha will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Atalanta cannot win away for five consecutive matches
- In the last five away matches, the guests missed
- Atalanta has scored at least once in the last nine games.
Approximate composition: Carnesecchi – Scalvini, Gimshiti, Kolasinac – Zappacosta, Ederson, De Ron, Bernasconi – De Ketelare, Zalewski – Krstovich

Tip and bets
Lecce demonstrates high-quality football, but it cannot compete with the leading clubs of Serie A. The team lost four of the last five defeats to representatives of the top 6, and the club that currently ranks higher only in terms of additional indicators managed to win. We believe Atalanta will be too tough for the home team even in their stadium, and the hosts will once again be unable to please their fans with a set of points with a representative of the elite of Italian football.
Our prediction is that Atalanta will win with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the total
Lecce plays more freely at home than away. In two of the last three home matches, the opponents managed to score. Atalanta promotes an open style of play a priori, and the fact that in eight of the last nine meetings both one and the other opponent managed to score is well confirmed. Over the past year, the teams have played each other twice, and in both matches there were no zeroes on the scoreboard. We believe that this trend will not stop, and the opponents will exchange goals at least once again.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.91
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Lecce lost the last two matches to the clubs from the top 6 with a minimal difference in the score. Atalanta is not so confident in hosting away matches, and it has not been possible to win on the road in the last five games. We believe that today the Bergamasques will have a great chance to break the unbeaten away streak, and they will take advantage of it, but it is unlikely that they will win with a difference of more than one goal.
Prediction – Atalanta will win with a one-goal advantage with a coefficient of 3.60
