Atalanta vs Lecce Predictions

• Lecce have lost seven of their last eight matches
• Atalanta have won 19 of their 33 league matches
• Lecce have only scored five times in their last ten games

Visitors struggling

Atalanta are still in with a chance of lifting a first ever Scudetto but they need pretty much everything to go in their favour between now and the end of the season to close the seven-point gap between them and both Inter and Napoli.

They start that task off with a Friday night clash with Lecce, who are scrapping it out at the opposite end of the table.

Only bottom side Monza have lost more games than the visitors’ 19 and they have taken just one point from the last 24 available.

Goals have been in serious short supply for the Wolves too, they have only netted five times in their last ten outings. 

Atalanta can secure comfortable success

Atalanta have the second-best defensive record behind Napoli and should be able to shut out these opponents, just as they did in their 4-0 win in the reverse fixture.

The away team have the worst goalscoring record in Serie A and that looks likely to be their undoing once more, Atalanta are fancied to keep up the pressure on Inter and Napoli by recording a win to nil.

Five of the last seven meetings between these two have gone over 2.5 goals and a repeat of that is possible, correct score backers should consider a 3-0 home win.
