Lecce, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Lecce players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Udinese. During that encounter they had 64% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 16 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Luca Gotti will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 30 of their 36 games overall.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at Stadio Via del Mare, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
Atalanta, Recent FormAtalanta will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Roma. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 24 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Roma had 9 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Manager Gian Piero Gasperini will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 31 of their 35 games this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 5 games.
On an individual basis, Teun Koopmeiners will be looking to cause Lecce some problems having scored 4 goals in Atalanta's last 6 away games in the league.
It was one to forget for Lecce last time they met Atalanta in the league, falling to a 1-0 defeat.
When playing away from home in the league, La Dea have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against Lecce. Atalanta have a good attacking record away to Giallorossi in the league, having scored a total of 10 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 3.33 goals per game.
With both Lameck Banda (Knee surgery) and Kastriot Dermaku (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Mohamed Kaba (Knee) and Nicola Sansone (Muscle) unavailable in the shorter term, Lecce manager Luca Gotti will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
With only Emil Holm (Calf) and Sead Kolašinac (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gian Piero Gasperini will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
