Lecce vs Atalanta Match Prediction

The most likely outcome of the meeting is Atalanta’s victory. Bergamaschi are superior to their rival in many respects and have an impressive advantage in head-to-head meetings. In favour of the “goddess” speaks an impressive end of last season, where Gasperini’s team demonstrated a bright attacking football and won several important victories.

Lecce, of course, will try to give a fight to the favourite and use the factor of their field. “The Yellow Reds are renowned for their combativeness and intransigence, which has brought them points in matches with the giants. However, success against Atalanta will require playing to the limit and hoping for fortune’s favour.

Recent official meetings

Lecce

“Lecce ended the 2023/24 Serie A season with a 0-0 draw against Napoli, demonstrating their trademark intransigence and fighting spirit. This result reflected the Yellow Reds’ performance at the end of the league season – the team fought and tried, but at times they lacked skill and luck.

In the last 10 meetings, Marco Baronia’s wards won 3 wins, drew 4 times and suffered 3 defeats. Such statistics speak volumes about the character of Lecce – a team that never gives up and is ready to give their best on the pitch.

On the positive side, wins over Sassuolo (3-0), Empoli (1-0) and Salernitana (1-0) are worth mentioning. However, it was not without serious failures. Defeats to Atalanta (0:2), Udinese (0:2) and AC Milan (0:3) exposed Lecce’s main problem – the inability to face top clubs. In these matches, the Yellow Reds looked helpless, made childish mistakes in defence and could not establish a constructive game in attack.

But even in the disappointing fixtures, Baronia’s team kept their heads up and continued to bend their line. Draws with Cagliari (1-1), Monza (1-1), Roma (0-0) and Napoli (0-0) confirmed that Lecce is a tough nut to crack, capable of rattling the nerves of any Serie A rival.

Atalanta

“Atalanta” finished last season of Serie A, losing to “Fiorentina” with a score of 2:3. However, this result could not spoil the overall positive impression of the performance of the “goddess” at the end of the championship. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team showed great form, character and willingness to fight on several fronts in the last few rounds.

In the final ten meetings, the Black Blues won 7 wins, drew once and suffered 2 defeats. Both losses came in crucial matches against direct rivals – Juventus in the Italian Cup (0:1) and Fiorentina in the championship (2:3). Nevertheless, these setbacks did not break Atalanta’s fighting spirit, but only gave it additional motivation.

In Serie A, Gasperini’s men tore apart their opponents, scoring bright victories over Torino (3-0), Lecce (2-0), Roma (2-1), Salernitana (2-1) and Empoli (2-0). In these matches, the Goddess showed their trademark attacking football, skilfully combining ball control with lightning-fast counterattacks.

Atalanta’s performance in the Europa League is particularly noteworthy. At the play-off stage, the Black Blues first confidently dealt with Marseille (1:1, 3:0), and then in the final knocked Bayer out of the tournament (3:0).

However, it was not without a spoonful of tar. Defeats to Juventus and Fiorentina showed that Atalanta sometimes lack stability and mental toughness in key matches. In the decisive moments, the “goddess” can’t always control their nerves and press their opponents.

History of head-to-head confrontations

These teams have played 28 matches against each other in their history. “Boginja” won 12 victories against 8 for Lecce, and also scored 43 goals against the “Yellow-Red”. Lecce, on the other hand, managed to hit Atalanta’s goal 33 times. On average, the Bergamaschi score 1.54 goals per match, while Lecce score 1.18.

In the last 10 head-to-head meetings, the balance of power has changed somewhat. Lecce managed to beat Atalanta twice – 2-1 in November 2022 and 1-2 in February 2023.

However, Atalanta remains the trendsetter in this dancing duo. The Bergamaschi have won 5 of their last 10 matches, including an impressive 7-2 victory in March 2020. In this game, Atalanta showcased their trademark style of fast-paced, attacking football.

We should not discount the draw results. In the history of Lecce and Atalanta, there have been 8 draws, three of which came in the last 10 meetings.
