Watch Napoli vs Atalanta Live: Serie A
Napoli, the Serie A leaders, will face off against Atalanta BC at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona today, seeking their seventh consecutive win in all competitions ¹. Antonio Conte’s team has been on a roll, winning five Serie A games in a row for the first time since January-February 2023.
*Team News*
Napoli will be without midfielder Stanislav Lobotka due to a thigh strain. However, Conte may still name an unchanged starting XI, which could see Billy Gilmour join Frank Anguissa and Scott McTominay in midfield. Romelu Lukaku, who has scored and set up at least four Serie A goals this season, will likely lead the attack alongside Matteo Politano and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Napoli Aims to Extend Winning Streak Against High-Flying Atalanta
Atalanta, on the other hand, will be missing Marco Brescianini, Gianluca Scamacca, and Giorgio Scalvini due to injuries. Captain Marten de Roon will become La Dea’s joint-top appearance maker in Serie A when he takes the field.
*Predictions and Analysis*
Napoli has kept a clean sheet in seven of their last eight matches, recording an aggregate scoreline of 18-1 during that time. Atalanta, however, has been finding the net freely, averaging 2.6 goals per game. The predicted scoreline is Napoli 1-1 Atalanta BC ¹.
