Napoli vs. Atalanta: Prediction, head-to-head, team news, possible line ups and betting tips

Ademola Loookman’s Atalanta will travel to face Napoli, with both teams hoping to preserve their respective unbeaten streaks. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.

After a tumultuous previous season, Napoli has roared back to life under the stewardship of Antonio Conte. 

The Azzurri retained top spot in the Serie A table with their impressive 2-0 victory over AC Milan, taking them to 25 points and maintaining their four-point advantage over Inter Milan.

Meanwhile, Atalanta, led by Gian Piero Gasperini, are also enjoying a strong start to the season and recently won 2-0 against Monza in their last league game.

Despite being six points behind Napoli, their potent attack, which has already netted 26 goals, makes them a formidable force. 

Napoli vs. Atalanta Head to Head

The last meeting between Napoli and Atalanta was back in March, and it was a resounding 3-0 win for Gasperini’s side.

However, prior to that, Napoli had won each of their other four meetings in the most recent five.

Atalanta have lost just two of their previous eight visits to Naples and won three, a run that goes all the way back to August 2017.

Napoli will remain without Stanislav Lobotka, who is the only absentee for the hosts.

Summer signing Romelu Lukaku will hope to add to his five Serie A goals so far this season after finding the net against Milan last time out.

Gianluca Scamacca remains sidelined for Atalanta with a knee injury and is joined by Giorgio Scalvini, who is also out of the clash. Summer signing Marco Brescianini remains a doubt.

Lookman has eight direct goal contributions this season, and he will be the man to watch for the visitors alongside the league’s leading scorer, Mateo Retegui, who has 10 league goals to his name.
