Are nerves creeping in at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona? These Napoli vs. Atalanta predictions suggest the Partenopei will be just fine after last weekend’s blip against Lazio.
Napoli vs. Atalanta odds
1 – Napoli to win – 8/13
2 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 8/11
3 – Both teams to score – 4/5
4 – Victor Osimhen to score at any time – 7/5
5 – Napoli to win and both teams to score – 12/5
Napoli’s defeat at home to Lazio last Friday should not affect their chances of claiming a third Scudetto this season. As much as it was a surprise for the Partenopei to lose – and concede a goal for the first time since January – the league title is almost guaranteed to be making its way to Naples this year.
Napoli should not be complacent though, and Luciano Spalletti’s side may well be even more keen to claim the three points this weekend against Atalanta. It may be unfair for La Dea to come up against a wounded Napoli, but the home side now may feel they have something to prove.
A home win should be the outcome on Saturday and it would not be a surprise if Victor Osimhen finds the net at some point during the proceedings.
Atalanta will be keen to put up a fight though. Gian Piero Gasperini is frustrated that his side has only picked up one point in the last three games, and will want some victories soon to meet the club’s Champions League aspirations.
A goalless draw at home to struggling Udinese last weekend followed disappointing defeats at the hands of Milan and Lecce. So Atalanta need to create something to spark their season back into life. There is no European football this season, of course, and they are already out of the Coppa Italia.
Ultimately, hoping to get back on track against the runaway Serie A leaders is probably too much for this team. But a good performance from Atalanta will give them some renewed confidence ahead of games against Empoli, Cremonese and Bologna.

Napoli team news
Spalletti will field a very familiar starting XI once again this weekend. But he will have to do without the suspended Mário Rui. Mathias Olivera should be able to deputise for the Portuguese left-back though.
Atalanta team news
Gian Piero Gasperini has a few more injury problems to deal with. He will be without long-term absentees like Duván Zapata but will also have to replace both Teun Koopmeiners and Davide Zappacosta. Éderson and Mateo Ruggeri should come in for those two.
