Atalanta they can continue in that vein this weekend. Lecce have improved under new management but remain vulnerable at the back.
Returning to Serie A action this weekend, Atalanta will aim to regain their composure and build on last week's 2-1 home victory over Roma, their main rivals for a crucial top-five finish and a spot in next season's Champions League.
Despite the bitter taste of their recent cup defeat, there have been many positive signs in 2024: only champions Inter Milan have a higher points and goals average in the second half of the season.
Lecce will be hoping their visitors are still reeling from their loss in Rome, as the Giallorossi still need points to secure their Serie A safety.
With only one loss in seven games since new manager Luca Gotti took over, Lecce were optimistic about defeating fellow strugglers Udinese on Monday evening. However, after a 2-0 home defeat, they have yet to confirm their third consecutive year in Italy's top flight.
Prediction: Lecce+0.75
