Napoli have showcased a dominant display so far. The Partenopei are on a five-match winning streak and confidently lead the table, with only a single draw and loss to their name.
The midweek away trip to Milan ended in a 0-2 victory for Napoli. Goals from Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the first half were enough to secure this important victory.
Since their dismal opening loss in Serie A to Verona, Napoli have transformed into a well-oiled machine. Under Antonio Conte, they have been lethal in the attack while rarely conceding a goal. For instance, in four out of the past five encounters – in fact, they’ve kept a clean sheet in four of their last five outings.
Similar to Napoli, Atalanta are enjoying a rich vein of form. La Dea are on a four-match winning streak and, with 26 goals, boast the best scoring record in Serie A.
Atalanta’s last match against Monza was a hard-fought battle, but the hosts still managed to claim a crucial win. First, Lazar Samardžić broke the deadlock in the 70th minute and Davide Zappacosta’s late strike put the game to bed for the Bergamaschi.
Gian Piero Gasperini, known for his attacking philosophy, has refined Atalanta’s game this season. La Dea score regularly and Mateo Retegui has done an excellent job replacing Gianluca Scammaca. The Italian forward is now the top goalscorer in Serie A with 10 goals to his account.
Bet hereThis is a match between two potential Scudetto contenders. Napoli are six points clear of Atalanta and the victory in this game will give them an edge in their upcoming match against Inter.
If we take out the previous H2H match between these two, which Napoli lost 0-3 at home, the Partenopei have emerged victorious in four out of five confrontations with La Dea. Considering the current form of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Retegui, we expect the same to happen in this meeting.
Napoli will be the ones who will push for dominance in this matchup from the start. After a victory against Milan, the hosts will be riding a wave of confidence. Our prediction for this clash is a Napoli win.
Napoli and Atalanta have impressed fans in recent years with high-scoring affairs. Out of the eight previous H2H encounters seven ended with at least three goals scored, as both sides tend to favor an open, attacking game.
This is also a match of two coaches with contrasting styles. Antonio Conte can effectively close the game after taking the lead, while Gian Piero Gasperini’s side thrives on swift counterattacks that can catch opponents off guard.
Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have formed great chemistry, and they will be in the spotlight against Atalanta. On the other hand, Atalanta displays excellent teamwork, with Ademola Lookman being the main creative force for the visitors.
We expect an action-packed display with both sides finding the back of the net. Our second pick for this match is over 2.5 goals.
