Lecce and Atalanta bring round 28 of Italian Serie A to an end when they square off at the Via del Mare on Monday. Both sides head into the game off the back of contrasting results last time out, with Raffaele Palladino’s men claiming a narrow victory over Hellas Verona.
Lecce were left empty-handed yet again as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico just before the international break.

Palladino’s men had failed to win their previous six matches in all competitions (3D 3L), a run which saw them crash out of the UEFA Champions League courtesy of a 10-2 aggregate defeat against Bayern Munich in the round of 16.
