Atalanta takes on Lecce on the 26th Serie A day, and the nerazzurri looks to build on their recent successes against Fiorentina and Roma. The club currently sits in 4th place in the Serie A standings and want to remain within the Champions League zone.
Gasperini can smile because Atalanta has lost just once in their past 20 matches against a newly promoted club. Lecce has been playing well, though, and have gained 6 points in their past three matches at Via del Mare.
Toloi will not train with the rest of the team due to a muscular problem. Djimsiti will also skip the team session. If the latter cannot play, Gasperini may pick one between De Roon and Castagne to play alongside Caldara and Palomino, or even Czyborra. On the wings, Castagne might play while Pasalic may start on the bench due to fatigue, as long as De Roon doesn't start in defense. Below is the probable starting line-up:
ATALANTA (3-4-1-2): Gollini; Djimsiti, Caldara, Palomino; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Gomez; Zapata, Ilicic
