TIPS - Atalanta BC VS Lecce

[(Atalanta BC) Strength]:
1. Atalanta BC are motivated to keep unbeaten at home this time.
2. Atalanta BC have demonstrated consistent efficiency in attack, scoring 17 goals in their last 10 league matches—averaging 1.7 goals per game with a reliable efficiency. They have found the net in each of their last 9 league games, highlighting their stable offense. This season, they have also scored in both of their opening two league matches.
3. Atalanta BC's defensive performance has also been commendable. Across their last 10 matches, they have conceded only 10 goals, averaging one goal per game, while keeping two clean sheets. This reflects a relatively solid and reliable defensive record.

[(Atalanta BC) Neutral]:
1. Following his international duty with Nigeria, Ademola Lookman will return to Atalanta BC's training base. His return marks a temporary end to the transfer saga that unfolded during the summer window, during which he staged a training boycott, conducted separate sessions, and distanced himself from the club in an effort to force a move to Inter Milan.

[(Atalanta BC) Weakness]:
1. Atalanta BC's start to the new season has fallen short of expectations. After a 1-1 draw against Parma Calcio 1913 in their latest league away match, they have opened the campaign with two consecutive draws, failing to maintain the momentum from last season.
2. Atalanta BC's home dominance has significantly declined, with only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 official home matches—a win rate as low as 20%. Their ability to secure points at home has severely weakened. If they fail to improve their home form promptly, it could negatively impact the team's overall performance this season.

[(Lecce) Strength]:
1. Lecce still need to strive for points despite playing on the road this time, with undoubted morale.
2. Lecce's defensive performance has been relatively solid. In their last 10 official matches, they have conceded only 10 goals, averaging one goal per game—a commendable defensive efficiency. This season, across three official games, they have let in just two goals and kept two clean sheets, including a clean sheet against Genoa in the opening round.

[(Lecce) Weakness]:
1. Lecce have made a disappointing start to the new season. After a 0-2 home defeat to AC Milan in their latest league match, they have managed only one draw and one loss in the first two rounds of Serie A, still awaiting their first victory.
2. Lecce's offensive performance has been severely lacking. In their last 10 league matches, they have managed only 7 goals, averaging only 0.7 goals per game—a stark reflection of their inefficiency in front of goal. They failed to score in 4 of these games, highlighting a persistent lack of offensive stability. Particularly concerning is their start to the new season: after two league rounds, they have yet to find the net, extending their goalless streak and underscoring the team's disappointing attacking form.
3. Lecce's away form has been equally underwhelming. In their last 10 league away matches, they have managed only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, resulting in a win rate of just 20%. Their ability to secure points on the road remains notably weak. If the team fail to promptly adjust their form and improve their performance in away games, they will face increased pressure in their battle to avoid relegation this season.
4. Lecce have got 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in their last 5 encounters, being at a disadvantage.

[Tips]:
Atalanta BC drew 1-1 against Parma Calcio 1913 in the last match. They have kept unbeaten in two successive matches, but both were ended in draws.

They are yet to grab the first win so far.

Returning home field this time, the team must go all out to get all 3 points, fully motivated.

On the other hand, Lecce lost to AC Milan 0-1 in the last home game, having not tasted a win so far, and they are not backed by the bookmakers.

Thus, we expect Atalanta BC to score a perfect win at home this time.

[Recommended]:
Atalanta BC (-1/1.5)
