Lecce Team News
Lecce is not in a good form this season, with only one win, 6 losses and the same number of draws. After 13 rounds played, they are in 16th position in the table and only three points separate them from the relegation zone, where Cremonese, Sampdoria and Verona are.
With only 10 goals scored, they are the second most ineffective team in Serie A, right behind Sampdoria, who scored 4 less.
After two consecutive defeats, in the last round they played drew 1-1 against Udinese in Friuli. Lecce took the lead with Lorenzo Colombo’s goal in the 33rd minute of the match, but Beto equalized with another goal in the 68th minute and brought his team only a point.
Atalanta Team News
On the other hand, Atalanta is playing its excellent season, until the last round Atalanta was in second place in the table in the Serie A, just behind Napoli, but in the last round they suffered a defeat in Bergamo against the leaders of the championship with a score of 2-1. So, now Atalanta is in the 4th place in the table.
In the first 20 minutes of the match, Atalanta was a much better rival. They managed to score a goal from the penalty spot in the 19th minute by their current best scorer, Ademolo Lookman. However, from that moment on, Napoli started to play much better and with two quick goals by Victor Osimhen and Elmas made a turnaround by the end of the first half, which in the end turned out to be enough to win the derby.
Thus, Atalanta suffered their second defeat of the season, so a win against Lecce on Wednesday is necessary for them to regain confidence and return to winning streak.
