Napoli vs Atalanta – Serie A Betting Tips

Napoli welcomes Atalanta to their home ground in an exciting match this weekend. Napoli seems to have released their foot off the gas pedal with 2 draws, and 1 win in their last 3 Serie A matches. 

Their run of poor results has seen them give way to AC Milan and Inter Milan breathing down their necks and threatening to dethrone them. 

This weekend, the free-scoring Atalanta visits them to pay them an exciting visit in other to test their worthiness in their bid to win the Scudetto. 

While this match might go both ways, here are our researched and analyzed tips.  

Napoli Form and Team News

Napoli, even though they are leading the table, it seems like they are currently setting their foot off the gas, which makes them look vulnerable. In their last 5 Serie A matches, they have won 2, drawn 2, and lost 1. 

In their last 5 matches in all competitions, they have lost 2, drawn 2, and just won 1 game, and that doesn’t give an air of confidence at the moment. 

For the team news, they have some important squad members who will be missing this match through injury, and they are Anguissa A. Z (Groin Injury), Koulibaly K (Calf Injury), Osimhen V (Face Injury), and Zanoli A (Illness). 

Atalanta Form and Team News

Atalanta is one of Italy’s free-scoring clubs, and even though they score many goals, it hasn’t helped them to the top of the league. They sit at the 4th position, having won 9 matches, drawn 4, and lost 2.  

In their last 5 matches in all competitions, they have won 4 and drawn 1, which indicates that they are in excellent form at the moment. It is also nice to note that they eased an impressive 1-0 Over Juventus, and this shows that they are not afraid to challenge any team in Serie A. 

For team news, they have just 2 of their players out of this match or a doubt, and these players are Gosens R (Muscle Injury) and Lovato M.

Our Tipsters Angle

Napoli seems to have struggled to win their games recently, and it might be attributed to their top  striker Oshimen being injured. However, they have similar replacements, but this hasn’t been going their way recently and they look like they are losing the throne at this visit from Atalanta. 

Atalanta has been in scintillating form and might want to squeeze out a victory as they did last season in the 4-2 and 3-1 wins they had over Napoli. 

Tip 1: Over 2.5 Goals

These two teams are known for their high goal-scoring matches. In their last 10 games in all competition haves been over 2.5 in 7 of them, and with Napoli conceding cheap goals, we expect this natch to be about who will outscore the other. 

Also, both teams lack defensive solidity, which has shown in the number of goals they have conceded this season. 

We expect this match to be another high-scoring Italian match and  Casumo Sportsbook has Over 2.5 goals available at odds 1.60.

Tip 2: Both Teams to Score

Just like the Over 2.5 tips, we think both teams are likely to score in this match. Both sides are not defensively minded and will go all out for victory. Also, last season, they met twice, and it all ended with both teams finding the net, although Atalanta came out victorious in both of the matches.  

At Casumo sportsbook, both teams to score is placed at 1.45 odds.  

Conclusion

Will Atalanta win this fixture just like last season, or will they lose to the league leaders? We don’t know just yet, but we know that we should expect goals in this match. 

Napoli knows that losing this match might as well mean dropping from the first position, and they will be willing to maintain their status.
