Lecce head into this match in difficult form, having lost four of their last five Serie A matches while picking up just one win.
Across those five games, they have scored five goals but conceded eight, highlighting ongoing defensive fragility.
Currently sitting 18th in the table with 27 points from 30 matches, they are deep in the relegation battle.
Their home form offers slight encouragement, including a crucial 2-1 win over Cremonese, but inconsistency remains a major issue.
Against top-half opposition, Lecce have struggled significantly, collecting just four points from 16 such matches and scoring only six goals.
Team news further complicates matters for Lecce. Injuries to Medon Berisha, Francesco Camarda, and Kialonda Gaspar limit options, while Lassana Coulibaly and Riccardo Sottil are also in doubt.
Much of their attacking hopes rest on Nikola Stulic, who has scored three goals this season, all at home.
Supporting him are Lameck Banda and Ylber Ramadani, while defender Tiago Gabriel, one of the league’s best in duels, anchors the backline.
However, Lecce’s lack of a prolific scorer remains a major concern.
In contrast, Atalanta arrives in a stronger overall form despite some mixed recent results.
They have lost just one league game in 2026, collecting 28 points in that period.
In their last five matches across competitions, they have scored seven goals but conceded ten, reflecting both attacking quality and defensive vulnerability.
Positioned 7th with 50 points, they are firmly in the race for European spots.
Away from home, however, they have been less convincing, earning just 18 points compared to 32 at home.
Atalanta’s squad still boasts significant quality. Nikola Krstovic is expected to lead the line in the absence of injured Gianluca Scamacca, while Charles De Ketelaere and Nicola Zalewski provide creativity behind him.
Midfield leader Marten de Roon continues to dictate play, supported by Ederson.
Defensively, Sead Kolasinac is fit to feature despite a recent scare, though Isak Hien remains unavailable.
Their ability to create chances consistently makes them a dangerous opponent.
Historically, this fixture has favored Atalanta. They have won four of the last five meetings, including a dominant 4-1 victory earlier this season.
Lecce have struggled to contain Atalanta’s attacking threat, conceding multiple goals in several of those encounters.
Key Betting Insights;
