Why bet on Napoli?

Napoli are reborn under new boss Antonio Conte, and they are looking to take away Inter’s crown.

Summer signing Romelu Lukaku, who opened the scoring in a 2-0 win over Milan, will be the man to watch in the home team. Meanwhile, midfielder Stanislav Lobotka remains in the recovery room.

Star men the Belgian and Khvicha Kvaratshkelia struck during the first half to secure another success, pulling the Partenopei eleven points clear of the Rossoneri, but with one additional match played.

Tuesday’s victory in Milan surely confirmed Napoli as a legitimate Scudetto contenders, with head coach Antonio Conte admitting that his team was in great shape to challenge for the title.

They have now won five Serie A games in a row for the first time since a run of eight between January and February 2023, when they were on course for a remarkable first-placed finish under Luciano Spalletti.

Why bet on Atalanta?

The Orobici, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive league win.

In midweek, La Dea climbed up to third spot in the table, overtaking Juventus via a 2-0 win over Monza, secured thanks to goals from Lazar Samardzic and Davide Zappacosta.

That success prompted long-serving boss Gian Piero Gasperini to acclaim his backup players, with both scorers having emerged from the bench.

As Atalanta are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big chance that this ends up in a high-scoring affair.

Both Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini are sidelined with injuries for the away team.

Final Betting Analysis: Napoli vs. Atalanta

There is great parity in this particular duel, as in the 38 matches played, there were 16 wins by the Partenopei, 14 for La Dea, and eight draws. However, the league leaders won four of the last five games.

Keeping a clean sheet in seven of their last eight matches for the Serie A, Napoli have recorded an aggregate scoreline of 18-1 during that time.

So, even free-scoring Atalanta must approach this game with some trepidation, and they would surely settle for just the second draw in 19 league games between the two teams.

Nonetheless, Antonio Conte’s side looks more likely to secure all three points in Sunday’s clash, given their brilliant home record this season. Go for a 3-1.

Go for a victory for the locals at 2.09. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $109 for a total payout of $209.
