Napoli
In the previous round, Antonio Conte's charges triumphed away against Milan with a score of 2:0. As a result, Napoli won their fifth consecutive Serie A encounter and extended their unbeaten streak in the league to nine matches (8 wins, 1 draw). The team confidently leads the league table, four points ahead of second-placed Inter. Notably, the Neapolitans have the best home record in the current Serie A season (15 points).
Defender Leonardo Spinazzola and midfielder Stanislav Lobotka will miss the match due to injuries.
- The team has won their last five home games in Serie A.
- The club has not conceded more than one goal in their last six home games in the league.
- Napoli has scored at least two goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches in Serie A.
Atalanta
Gian Piero Gasperini's men handled Monza at home in the last round (2:0). This victory marked Atalanta's fourth consecutive win in the championship. The club is in the top five of the league table with 19 points. It's worth noting the high scoring efficiency of the Bergamo side: they are the top scorers in the current Serie A season, with 26 goals to their name.
Midfielder Marco Brescianini and forward Gianluca Scamacca will miss the game due to injuries.
- The club has not lost in 6 of their last 8 away Serie A matches (5 wins, 1 draw).
- At least three goals have been scored in 9 of the team's last 12 away games in the league.
- The number '2' has appeared in the final score in 6 of Atalanta's last 9 away games in Serie A.
Napoli vs Atalanta: match prediction
Antonio Conte's side is in excellent form, but Napoli is particularly strong at home: they have won all five home matches in the current Serie A season. In 4 of these 5 games, the team scored at least twice. In fact, in the last 15 home league matches, Napoli has failed to score on only three occasions.
Atalanta also prefers an attacking style of play. Gian Piero Gasperini's charges are highly effective even on the road: in 10 of their last 11 away Serie A encounters, the Bergamasques have found the back of the net, and on seven occasions during this period, they scored at least twice. Moreover, in the previous league meeting at Napoli's home ground, Atalanta managed to score three goals.
I see all the prerequisites for a high-scoring game from both opponents. My prediction is: "Both Teams to Score – Yes" with odds of .
