Napoli - Atalanta predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Atalanta are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Napoli should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It would be a minor miracle for Atalanta to win at Napoli, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.64 price on most online sportsbooks.

Napoli will be hyped for their Saturday match after earning a big point in their last Serie A game. They had a rather difficult league trip where everyone saw them as huge underdogs. Things did not work in their favour after the first 45 minutes as they went on a break with a deficit. However, the tables turned after the break as Napoli managed to rise to the occasion and save the day with a Inter draw.

Atalanta’s latest home game performance was fairly dull, and it didn’t show them in a great light. That particular bout against Fiorentina produced no winners in either half of the match, resulting in a : draw.

The attacking players for the home side left a solid impression by scoring 5 times over their latest 3 away games. The added home-field advantage they’ll have this time around makes them even more dangerous.

Given 8 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Atalanta's defensive line is much to be desired.

The clock is ticking for Atalanta’s hopes of reaching the Europa League. They still have some time to earn the 4 points they need, but matchups as hard as Napoli will make their job a lot harder.

Napoli played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Saturday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
