Command Analysis

Lecce

Current form
Last season, Lecce was considered one of the main candidates for relegation, but this status was called into question. In the first round, the "yellow-reds" scored a lot of points and created a number of sensations, but failed in the second half of the championship. In the end, they managed to keep their place in Serie A - they managed to cope with the task one round before the end of the championship, the Apulians finished in 14th place.
In the summer, Lecce lost a very important player in Marin Pongracic, who moved to Fiorentina, but managed to make a good profit on the Croatian, a familiar story for the Italian mid-table team. Gabriel Strefezza also left the team, the midfielder moved to Como. The “yellow-reds” are extremely cautious with purchases, names like Filip Marchwinski or Lassana Koulibaly have little to say to the average football fan.
Lecce" target="_blank">http://www.uslecce.it/">Lecce played their first official match of the season a week ago in the Italian Cup. In the home match against Mantova, the yellow-reds were considered clear favorites, but they did not fully justify their status. Lecce snatched a 2:1 victory at home in the last five minutes, but at the same time they had a significant game advantage and certainly could have won much more confidently.

Mohamed Kaba and Nicola Sansone are out of action due to injuries.

- Lecce have failed to score in their last two matches against Atalanta
Probable line-up : Falcone - Gallo, Gaspar, Bascirotto, Gendre - Pierre, Ramadani, Dorgu, Rafia, Banda - Krstovic.

Atalanta

Current form
Last season, Atalanta, with a very limited personnel resource, confidently coped with its tasks in the championship. The "goddess" could hardly count on more than a ticket to the Champions League - they managed to achieve their goal without any particular problems, the Bergamaschi finished in fourth place in the table. Atalanta won its historic first international trophy by winning the Europa League.
In the summer, Gian Piero Gasperini's team failed to preserve the core of the team - Ten Koopmeiners is already one foot in Juventus, and there is serious interest in several other players. Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini will miss the start of the season due to injuries - very big losses, both for the modest Atalanta, which does not have a wide reserve.
Last week, Atalanta" target="_blank">https://www.atalanta.it/">Atalanta played Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup. Even before the match, it was obvious that, given all the personnel problems, it would be very difficult to count on success in a duel against an opponent like Real. In the end, no miracle happened - the "goddess" lost 0:2 in Warsaw, although overall they played well enough to score their goal, they were not lucky enough.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gianluca Scamacca, Giorgio Scalvini, Nicolo Zaniolo, Rafael Toloi and El Bilal Toure will miss the match due to injuries. There is information that Ademola Lookman asked the coach not to call him up for the match against Lecce, there is a high probability that the Nigerian will miss the match.

- Atalanta have won their last two matches against Lecce
- Atalanta have won their last three away matches in the championship
- Atalanta have scored in the second halves of Lecce's last three matches
Probable line-up : Musso - Djimsiti, Hin, Kolasinac - Zappacosta, De Ron, Ederson, Ruggeri - Pašalić, de Ketelaere, Retegi.

2.15Tip and bets
“Atalanta” will undoubtedly be in a determined mood today – “Lecce” was beaten twice by the “goddess” last season, while the “yellow-reds” are not yet in optimal shape, even taking into account all the personnel losses, the Bergamaschi are superior to their opponent in class. At the same time, there are problems in defense – “Atalanta” has not conceded less than two goals in friendly matches, twice allowed “Real” to score, the hosts will be able to play for a goal, at home “yellow-reds” traditionally play aggressively in attack and take risks.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This outcome is offered with a coefficient of 1.81
Bet on the outcome
Last week, Atalanta lost to Real Madrid as expected, but it created certain problems for the Los Blancos, they lacked experience and, of course, personnel losses also affected their ability to resist. Today, it will not be easier for the Goddess – Lecce, although inferior in class, is quite capable of giving a fight at home, which it has already proven more than once last season, taking points from the giants. It makes sense to take a risk and bet that the hosts will be able to avoid defeat.
Prediction - Lecce will not lose. This bet is offered with odds of 2.05
Combined rate
It is very important for Atalanta to start with a win – the competition for a place in the top four is expected to be extremely fierce, and losing points in such matches could be fatal. However, the visitors have huge personnel problems, to which they have added Ademola Lookman, who is rumored to be in talks with PSG. It is unlikely that Lecce will be able to snatch a win even in this situation, but the hosts are capable of defending a draw against an opponent bled dry by losses.
The bet is a draw with a result. This bet is offered for 4.65
