Atalanta may have seen its golden years pass, but they remain a formidable team in Serie A. Currently, after 17 league rounds, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team ranks eighth on the table, with only a five-point gap separating them from the top four teams. Atalanta has claimed victory in three out of their last four matches across all competitions. However, they suffered a 1-0 defeat on the road against Bologna in their last game. Despite having a lower expected goal (xG) value of 0.67 compared to Bologna’s 1.35, they were unable to secure a win. The Bergamo-based team has a solid opportunity to get back on track in their Saturday afternoon match against Lecce.
Lecce started the season spectacularly, securing 11 points in the first five league matches. However, they failed to maintain this level and are now sitting mid-table. Intriguingly, almost half of Lecce’s goals were scored in the season’s first game, which explains their current struggle. In their last 13 matches, they have underperformed. Last weekend, they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Inter Milan on the road. The home team dominated with 68% ball possession and nine more shots than Lecce, leading to another game where Lecce walked away empty-handed.
Atalanta vs Lecce pick: Atalanta to win and cover AH -1 spread
Atalanta has been performing well recently, netting 11 goals in their last four matches. In contrast, Lecce has only managed to score four goals in their previous four games. The smartest bet for this match would be on Atalanta to win and cover an AH -1 spread.

Lecce team news
In the previous round, assistant head coach Andrea Tarozzi led Lecce after Roberto D’Aversa was suspended. Following a loss, Tarozzi commented, “Conceding goals always points to areas we can improve. We had a few scoring opportunities and hoped to draw level, but playing against Inter is significantly challenging.”
Lameck Banda and Marin Pongracic are currently suspended and will not participate in Saturday’s game. Additionally, the injuries of Pontus Almqvist and Jeppe Corfitzen put their participation into question.
