Atalanta - Lecce predictions

Atalanta are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.44, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Atalanta and the 7.50 odds given to Lecce to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

The hosts are coming on the back of a rather mediocre HT/FT draw at Parma. The hosts in that game were the underdogs according to most betting odds, but neither side managed to gain a convincing advantage over the other.

The away team are coming on the back of a harsh 0:2 defeat. To be fair, they never stood much of a chance against a team like Milan, even on home ground. As the clear and complete underdogs, Lecce were overwhelmed in the second half.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, and the last time they clashed with Lecce things went their way. In fact, they snagged a decisive victory with an advantage of more than two goals.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
