Serie A: Lecce vs Atalanta – probable line-ups | OneFootball

Atalanta will be keen to bounce back from their Coppa Italia final defeat with a much-needed win in their Serie A clash with Lecce.

The match between the Salentini and la Dea kicks off at 17.00 UK time at the Stadio Via del mare in Lecce.

Lecce have little to play for heading into the summer, only a point or two away from mathematically securing their spot in the topflight for next season. The Puglian outfit sit 13th in the table with 37 points, five ahead of relegation candidates Empoli.

The Salentini are without Kastriot Dermaku, Lameck Banda, Mohamed Kaba and Nicola Sansone, all of whom are sidelined with injuries.

Atalanta were left heartbroken after their Coppa Italia final loss to Juventus, but they can’t afford to lose motivation as they push to secure a spot in the Champions League, sitting just three points ahead of sixth place Roma.

The Bergamo outfit cannot count on the injured Sead Kolasinac, Marten De Roon and Emil Holm. Teun Koopmeiners is also out through suspension.

When these two teams met back in December, Atalanta edged out a 1-0 win over Lecce after a 58th minute strike from Ademola Lookman.

Lecce (4-4-2): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Pongracic, Gallo; Oudin, Blin, Ramadani, Dorgu; Krstovic, Piccoli.
