Prediction: 2-0
Lecce
Atalanta will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Milan and they are seen as hot favourites to win Friday’s clash. The Orobici are eyeing their third consecutive league win and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Giallorossi. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Gianpiero Gasperini is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Rossoneri at the weekend.
Lecce, on the other hand, have suffered seven defeats in the previous eight league matches and given their poor away record, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting in Bergamo, Atalanta defeated Lecce 1-0, with Ademola Lookman scoring the only goal of the match. The likes of Gaby Jean, Youssef Maleh, and Filip Marchwinski are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while Joan Gonzalez is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Marten de Roon):
After spending his youth career in ASWH, Feyenoord and Sparta Rotterdam, Marten de Roon made his senior debut on 27 March 2010. The midfielder played for Sparta against Twente back then, but he made no more than three appearances for de Kasteelheren in the 2009/2010 season.

He made 36 appearances for Atalanta in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, but on 4 July, 2016, he signed a contract with Middlesbrough for a reported fee of £12m. The Dutch footballer scored one goal in three appearances for Netherlands U19 team.
Marten de Roon was born in Zwinjndrecht, Netherlands on 29 March, 1991. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as a defensive and attacking midfielder as well. Martin de Roon is a right-footed footballer and he is 185 cm tall.
Highlighted Team (Lecce):
When you imagine a yellow-red shirt, Lecce must be the first club that comes to your mind. Founded back in 1908, Lecce are Italian club that will compete in the Serie A in the 2019/2020 season. The Giallorossi return to the Italian top flight following a seven-year absence and, as always, they will host their rivals at Stadio Via del Mare.
The venue which was opened on September 11, 1966 can hold up to 33,876 people. The likes of Antonio Conte, Graziano Pelle, Javier Chevanton, Juan Cuadrado, Mirko Vucinic, Fabrizio Miccoli and Massimo Oddo are one of the most notable footballers who played for the Italian club in the past.
Lecce and Gallipoli face each other in the Salento derby and there have been fireworks in meetings between the two clubs since the 2009/2010 Serie B season when they first met in the league.
