Atalanta vs Napoli. Prediction (odds 3.35) and bets on the Serie A match

Current form

Atalanta lost several important players in the summer and had to look for options to replace them. The transfer campaign was very large-scale and strengthened the Bergamaschi squad significantly, but at the start of the championship they faced a huge number of injuries and were unable to show their best football right away - many points were lost in the first rounds for this reason.

However, as injured players returned to action, Atalanta improved and eventually found crazy form in the autumn, winning 11 games in a row in the championship and managing to displace Napoli from the first line for some time. The goddess also performs very successfully in the Champions League, where after six rounds it occupies 13th place in the table with 11 points.

Atalanta failed in the Super Cup in January and lost 0:2 to Inter in Saudi Arabia in the semi-finals without a chance. On their return, the goddess dropped points away in a match against Udinese and then with great difficulty snatched a 1:1 draw at home against Juventus. For now, the Bergamaschi occupy third place in the table and are four points behind Napoli, Inter have two points more, but the Nerazzurri still have a game in hand.

Current form

Napoli carried out a grandiose restructuring of the squad in the summer, which began with the appointment of Antonio Conte. The management allocated serious funds for transfers for the new coach and strengthened the squad - it is obvious that the team had the highest tasks in the championship, the selection of players allowed them to count on the Scudetto. From the very first rounds, the Neapolitans proved this.

Several mistakes were made in the first round, but overall Napoli looked more than worthy and managed to hold the first line for a long time. For some time, the Neapolitans were displaced from the first place by Atalanta, but the Bergamaschi have recently slowed down and the Partenopei have regained the lead, but there is no serious gap from the competitors.

At the moment, Napoli is first in the table and three points ahead of Inter, who still have a game in hand, while Atalanta is four points behind. In the last round, Napoli justified their status as favorites without any problems in the home match against Verona, winning 2:0 and outplaying their opponents in all respects. This is Napoli fifth victory in a row and already the 15th this season.
