LiontipsNapoli vs Atalanta. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (December 4, 2021).
Command Analysis
Napoli had a fantastic start to the season and won the first 8 games. This was the best start among the teams from the Top-5 European leagues. However, in the 9th round, Luciano Spaletti's men lost their impressive winning streak and recorded a goalless draw with Roma. On matchday 13, the Neapolitans suffered their first defeat, to Inter Milan (2:3).
Napoli are still top of the table in Serie A, but the other title contenders came very close: AC Milan are 1 point behind, Inter Milan are losing 2 points to Napoli.
Atalanta, on the contrary, had a slow start to the season, but they gradually picked form, and now Gian Piero Gasperini's men are 4th in the standings, losing 5 points to their current hosts. Technically, they still can win the title, but this will require a lot of effort in the second half of the season.
The 5th Roma is 6 points behind, which leaves Atalanta some room for error. However, the competition for the European football is too tight, and contenders won't be forgiving. In the last round, Atalanta crushed Venezia 4:0 at home, thus recording their fourth league victory in a row.

Tip and bets
In the last round, Napoli were unconvincing. They made many mistakes on the defensive and only got a draw with Sassuolo (2:2). Atalanta, on the other hand, got on form and looked great in the last few games. We think that the visitors will be able to collect 3 points in Naples.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Atalanta
Napoli have problems with the lineup, as Spaletti doesn't have the needed bench depth, and the players have started to pick up knocks and injuries. Atalanta recently beat Juventus and put up a good fight against Inter, so we think they have enough firepower to defeat the current leaders of Serie A. However, this probably will be a narrow win.
Second bet - Atalanta to win by 1 goal
