Atalanta vs Lecce

Current streaks

Recent form

Atalanta

Atalanta's recent form has been a tale of two halves, with the team experiencing a run of three consecutive losses followed by two wins in their last two matches. Despite their mixed results, Atalanta have maintained a strong defensive record, conceding only 0.67 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches. The standout performance came in their 4-0 away victory against Juventus, which was the highest-scoring game in this period. Interestingly, both teams have failed to score in any of Atalanta's last six matches, with 83% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals. This defensive solidity has helped Atalanta secure third place in Serie A with 64 points from 33 games, showcasing their ability to grind out results even when not at their most prolific in front of goal.

Lecce

Lecce are currently enduring a torrid run of form, finding themselves in 17th position and embroiled in a relegation battle. The Salentini have failed to secure a victory in their last 10 matches, with their most recent six games yielding just one point from a possible 18. They are currently on a five-match losing streak, conceding at least two goals in each of these defeats. Lecce's defensive frailties are particularly concerning, as they have not kept a clean sheet in their last eight outings and are conceding an average of two goals per game. Their attacking output has also been lacklustre, managing just 0.83 goals per game in their last six matches. Despite the prevalence of high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals, Lecce have struggled to capitalise on these open encounters.

Recent home/away form

Atalanta

Atalanta's recent home form has been underwhelming, with only one win in their last six matches at the Gewiss Stadium. The Bergamo side have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring a mere three goals during this period, averaging just 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets, but have conceded six goals overall. Interestingly, 83% of these matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs. Atalanta endured a concerning run of three consecutive home defeats across Serie A and the Champions League before their most recent victory against Bologna. The standout result in this sequence was a 3-1 loss to Club Brugge in European competition, which represents the highest-scoring game in this set of fixtures.

Lecce

Lecce's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team currently on a three-match losing streak on the road. In their last six away fixtures, Lecce have managed just one win, one draw, and four losses, highlighting their struggles away from home. The team have been conceding goals at an alarming rate, shipping 10 goals in these six matches, with a particularly heavy 4-1 defeat against Cagliari standing out as their worst result. Despite their defensive woes, Lecce have managed to find the back of the net in five of these six away games, though their goal-scoring hasn't been enough to compensate for their leaky defence. With an average of 2.67 total goals per game and both teams scoring in 67% of these matches, Lecce's away fixtures have tended to be entertaining affairs for neutral spectators, if not for their own supporters.
