Our prediction for the match Lecce vs Atalanta
“The Giallorossi” won the Serie B in 2022. And now, twice under the leadership of different coaches, the club has accomplished the only possible task – to gain enough points to avoid falling to that level. Well, “the Goddess” achieved real success last season, rising to 4th place in the Serie A and, that is the most important, winning the Europa League. The invincible Bayer was crushed in the final – 3-0.
Luca Gotti got several newcomers in the summer. They scraped together 2 million for Gaspar, who was bought from Estrela, and 3 million for Marchwinski from Lech. Goalkeeper Früchtl and midfielder Tete Morente also potentially joined the team, but the club paid for all that by selling Pongračić to Fiorentina. As for the team from Bergamo, it “planned” to say goodbye to Miranchuk, Gollini and Hateboer, but Scamacca’s injury forced it to urgently sign Retegui. Godfrey, Sulemana and Zaniolo also arrived, but Nicolo managed to get injured.
Lecce won in the cup confrontation with Mantova, but it is reasonable to mention that a 2-1 score happened due a goal in the 86th minute of the game. Gasperini lost the Super Cup battle against Real in Warsaw without options – everything ended with a 0-2 result.
Lecce vs Atalanta: possible starting line-ups
Lecce (possible line-up): Falcone – Gallo, Bashcirotto, Gaspar, Gendrey – Pierret, Ramadani, Dorgu, Rafia, Morente – Krstović.
