Lecce looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches, while 20th placed Monza is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Atalanta. Rasmus Højlund struck first for Atalanta in the 57th minute, then Marlon added another on an own goal in the 65th minute In the end, Monza was frustrated by Atalanta’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Atalanta ended the match with the shutout victory. Monza looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
