Lecce vs. Atalanta: A Mid‑Table Battle with High Stakes

April 6, 2026 – Via del Mare, Lecce – Manager Raffaele Palladino has named a 23‑man squad for his side’s trip to the south, where they will face Eusebio Di Francesco’s Lecce in the 31st round of Serie A. The match kicks off at 15:00 and will be streamed exclusively on DAZN.

Lecce line‑up (4‑3‑3): goalkeeper Falcone; defenders Veiga, Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Ndaba; midfielders Ngom, Ramadani, Fofana; attackers Pierotti, Cheddira, Banda. Atalanta’s expected formation (3‑4‑2‑1) features goalkeeper Carnesecchi; defenders Scalvini, Djimsiti, Kolašinac; midfielders Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi; forwards De Ketelaere, Zalewski; and striker Krstović.

Lecce have won only once in their last five games, a 1‑0 triumph over Cremonese, and sit in the penultimate relegation slot. A point could lift them out of the danger zone. Atalanta, fresh off a victory over Verona, are eyeing a Europa League berth and cannot afford a slip‑up against a motivated host.

The encounter promises a tense contest as both clubs fight for their season objectives.
