Lecce have also returned to competitive action this season, and after exiting the Coppa Italia to Serie B opposition last summer, they avoided another upset in Monday’s first-round tie against Mantova.
The Salentini saw off their second-tier counterparts thanks to a late winner from last term’s top scorer Nikola Krstovic, sending them into the next round and calming nerves after a rough run of results to end pre-season.
Having kicked off with a win over Werder Bremen, Lecce then came away empty-handed from games against Galatasaray, Huddersfield Town and Nice, so Luca Gotti will have been relieved to progress in the cup.

Bringing precious silverware back home to Bergamo after a 61-year wait, Atalanta somehow overcame an apparently invincible Bayer Leverkusen side in last season’s Europa League final, capping off Gian Piero Gasperini’s remarkable reign at the club.
‘Gasp’ has overseen La Dea’s transformation from Serie A strugglers to continental contenders, and Ademola Lookman’s spectacular hat-trick not only sealed the deal in Dublin but also healed wounds from losing to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final one week earlier.

Considering they were mainly occupied with staying afloat in Serie A, Lecce lost only seven times on home turf last season, and Atalanta will not be relishing a first-day trip to Via del Mare. La Dea’s run-in to their opening league game has not been ideal either, while the hosts already have a morale-boosting cup win under their belts.
Lecce 2-2 Atalanta BC, predicted by us.
