The Serie A is back this weekend with another round of matches as Atalanta welcome an impressive Napoli to the Gewiss Stadium on Saturday, in a top of the table clash.
Napoli have been in hot form this season, as they currently sit atop the Serie A table and are yet to lose in the league. However, Luciano Spalletti’s side lost 2-0 to Liverpool on Tuesday, recording their first defeat across all competitions this season.
Atalanta are in second place, five points behind Napoli, and are coming into this game off a win against Empoli.
We have analyzed this clash and predicted the likely outcomes, stating why we think these outcomes will happen.

Napoli to win and Goal-Goal @ 4.00 odds

Napoli are coming into this game having won eight consecutive Serie A games, and are favorites to extend this streak. However, Atalanta have found the back of the net in each of their league games against Napoli. We think Napoli will exert their dominance over Atalanta, but both teams will find the back of the net.
Napoli Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.94
Booking code: ZGZD9R
Napoli have scored at least twice in the last four meetings with Atalanta, while also doing so in six of their last eight league games this season. We think that Napoli’s firing power will be too much to handle for Atalanta, and they will bag at least two goals.
Both teams to score @ 1.55
Booking code: ZGZRG5
Five of the last six meetings between the two teams have produced both teams to score, and we are backing this trend to continue this weekend. The Napoli duo of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen will be too hot to handle, while Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman has been in fine form in front of goal.
