Atalanta vs Lecce Prediction
This won’t be an easy match for Atalanta as Lecce are a stubborn side. Coach Gasperini overcame the rough period in November and won four of their last seven games. La Dea have very talented players and must be able to overcome Lecce’s obstacle. We predict a solid performance by Atalanta and to win this match.
The combination bet of Atalanta to win or draw and over 1.5 goals has odds of 1.42 at 1xBet. To justify, there is a 74% possibility for an Atalanta double chance while the probability for this match to produce over 1.5 goals is 82%. Thus we will consider it as our safe bet.
