The visiting Atalanta side should be favourites in this visit to Lecce, as the away team holds a 20 point advantage from their 24 league games this season.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Atalanta, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.
Lecce form and stats
Lecce's results here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in the Serie A have been very modest with 2 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
The fans are hoping that Lecce will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Serie A game against Roma (placed 5th). Ahead of that match, Lecce won a home game hosting SPAL (2-1).
Lecce were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Mauro Vigorito had a busy but productive day in the Roma match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
Lecce has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Lecce have conceded 19 from these games.
Atalanta form and stats
Atalanta's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Atalanta, who have the most scored goals (63) in Serie A, collect 25 points from their 12 away matches in the Serie A. 7 victories and 4 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Atalanta are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Atalanta are travelling after their nice 4-1 home win in the Champions League against Valencia. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Roma in the Serie A.
Atalanta create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 30 goals in 12 travels. As opposed to that, Atalanta have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Lecce and Atalanta have met before this season: Atalanta - Lecce 3-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last five matches): Lecce zero wins, three draws and Atalanta two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
