League leaders Napoli will be looking to return to winning ways with a strong result against European hopefuls Atalanta.
The match between the Partenopei and la Dea kicks off at 17.00 UK time at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Napoli have looked almost unstoppable this season and are edging closer to picking up their first Scudetto in over three decades. Luciano Spalletti’s side suffered a tough 1-0 loss to Lazio last week and they’ll be expecting to shake off this small stumble with a good showing today.
The Partenopei cannot count on Hirving Lozano and Giacomo Raspadori, both of whom are out injured. Mario Rui is still suspended after being shown a red card in the win over Empoli last month.
Atalanta were closely involved in the race for a top four finish but have fallen off in recent weeks, winning just one of their last five league outings. Five points away from the Champions League spots, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side need to rediscover their momentum fast if they want to break into the top four.
La Dea are without the injured Hans Hateboer and Teun Koopmeiners, but otherwise can count on a fully fit squad.
