Atalanta - Napoli: Form Analysis
Atalanta have two straight wins against Napoli, but both happened away in Naples. In their last three home matches against Napoli, they suffered defeat.
This is their chance to address that but first they’ll want some stability. La Dea have lost form in recent matches and come here winless in the last four outings.
In the latest of them, they came from a goal down to register a 1-1 draw with Juventus. That was their third straight draw in the league, a run that has seen them relinquish their place at the top of the Serie A standings.
As Inter Milan play a day after them, Atalanta will go second with a win here.
Napoli have lost three times in the league, one of them against Atalanta.
Napoli are four points ahead of Atalanta and will come here the more confident of the two. They aren’t just buoyed by their recent form, Napoli claimed straight wins in their last three visits to Bergamo.
The league leaders weren’t part of the Super Cup lineup and it means they’ve played less games than Atalanta.
Being well-rested, this is a game they will be targeting a win in. After their back-to-back defeats to Lazio, Napoli are unbeaten ahead of this game. They won each of their last five matches and have the most wins in the league at the moment (15).

Atalanta & Napoli Squad Analysis
Home fans are going to pin a lot of hopes on Ademola Lookman coming into this game. The Nigerian international has four goals in five matches against Napoli.
He scored a brace in the first leg win over Napoli and will be fired up for this too. Atalanta will also reap from the return of Mateo Retegui from injury.
The Italian announced his return with a goal in the 1-1 draw with Juventus. He was also on the mark in the first leg win over Napoli.
Atalanta’s injury list is easing now, with Gianluca Scamacca and Odilon Kossounou missing. Meanwhile Sead Kolasinac sits out on suspension.
Mateo Retegui scored his 13th league goal in Atalanta’s last match.
At Napoli, there’s a bit of gloom after their top player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia agreed to a move to PSG. Scorer of five league goals, the Georgian international will be missed.
David Neres will, however, offer some consolation as he has been in good form lately. He will ensure Romelu Lukaku upfront is well supported.
Lukaku has had four goal contributions in the last two matches and will be hunting for goal number eight in the league in the season. Napoli will also be without Alessandro Buongiorno who is injured.

Our Atalanta vs Napoli Prediction
Napoli are in great form coming into this game. They also have the advantage of not having played in the Super Cup, so they are well-rested. Additionally, the past few matches between these sides have favored the visiting team.
Napoli will want to tap on that and especially after winning there in three straight visits. Atalanta have the capacity to do well in this match but they haven't been on a really great run. Our prediction for Atalanta v Napoli is that Napoli wins the match.
