Why Bet on Atalanta?
Atalanta is having a great season; however, in recent weeks, they have lost the Serie A lead and are slowly falling further behind. With 43 points, they sit now in third place, four units behind their current rival, Napoli.
The team from Bergamo has 13 wins, four draws, and three losses, but three of those draws have come in their last three matches against Lazio (1-1), Udinese (0-0), and Juventus (1-1), which cost them the top spot in the league.
They are still in the race, and the most important news is that Mateo Retegui is back on the scoresheet. The forward scored the equalizer against Juventus, marking his first Serie A goal since November 23. Retegui has 13 goals total, making him the league’s top scorer.
With 44 goals scored, Atalanta boasts the second-best attack in the league behind Inter (48). However, their 21 goals conceded are the second-highest among the top seven teams in the standings.
They are unbeaten in their last 15 Serie A matches, with 11 wins. At home, they have seven victories, one draw, and one loss in the league. They have scored in every home game but have only kept a clean sheet in one.
Juan Guillermo Cuadrado is close to returning, while Gianluca Scamacca remains sidelined with an injury.
Why Bet on Napoli?
After 20 matchdays, Napoli sits at the top of the league standings. With 47 points, they lead the tournament, three points ahead of Inter, who have a game in hand.
Antonio Conte’s team is on a five-match winning streak. The club’s offense has not been particularly prolific, with just 32 goals scored, the lowest tally among the top six teams. Their defense has been the best in all of Serie A. They have conceded only 12 goals throughout the campaign, and only two teams have managed to score more than once against them: Verona on the opening day (3-0) and Atalanta in November (0-3). They have kept clean sheets in their last three matches and 12 games this season.
Napoli has been impressive on the road, winning seven matches, drawing two, and losing just one in their opener. The two draws were against Juventus (0-0) and Inter (1-1).
Final Betting Analysis: Atalanta vs. Napoli
