Atalanta vs Lecce: Serie A preview and betting tips

When to watch Atalanta vs Lecce?

Saturday’s match of the 18th round of Serie A will offer a clash of two teams with opposite ambitions. While the home team wants at least the TOP 7 and the European Cup, the away team is aiming mainly for salvation. Lecce will welcome Gewiss Stadium, the match will be played on 30 December at 12:30.

Atalanta can beat the underdogs at home

It’s scrappy away, with favourites and at home, but Atalanta know how to deal with outsiders in the long run. Apart from Napoli, Inter and Juventus, it has won all five home rounds, including the one with AC Milan. Thanks to that, from eighth place, they can still think about the Top 4.

Lecce is not winning, away twice as much

Lecce hasn’t won away yet this season, triumphing only once since the beginning of November, and so far the points cushion from the start of the season saves them from a real fight for salvation. Still, they need to finally pick up all the points.

Betting tip – Atalanta to win

Atalanta are strong in Bergamo, so I believe in a win for them on Saturday. At the same time, they have scored in six of their last eight games across all leagues, so I’m also picking a goal on the away side. Both variants combined are really interesting odds. Lecce has been scoring goals for a long time, they just get a lot of them. Atalanta, on the other hand, got a three from a mediocre FC Torino at the start of the month, and even that is at least an upraised finger.
