Napoli v Atalanta Team News

Following their drab 1-1 draw against the lowly SPAL last time out, Napoli failed to climb up the ladder, as they remained fourth on the standings. In their defense, Gli Azzurri were by far the better team, controlling the middle of the park for large parts of the game but struggled to find a way past the stubborn SPAL defense.

Usually second-best, the home side will be disappointed with their current position on the Serie A standings. They have turned the second position to their traditional spot in recent years but currently occupy fourth this season, three points behind their next opposition and six adrift of table-toppers Juventus.

With other top-four teams floundering over the weekend, the Bergamese were the only side to claim a win, a well-deserved one at that. Oh boy, what a win that was!

Atalanta utterly obliterated the Udinese defense, shredding them into tiny bits in a thrilling 7-1 win. These are games we live for as football fans and Gian Pierro Gasperini’s charges fed us with exactly what we love to see.

With Duvan Zapata sidelined with an injury, Josip Ilicic and Luis Muriel were the cream of the crop for Atalanta, running riot against a 10-man Udinese team. Both players scored a combined five goals between them.

The visitors sit fourth on the league standings, two points behind Inter Milan in second and three points behind Juventus at the summit.
When it comes to goals, the home side have averaged 3.22 goals in their fixtures this season in contrast to the 4.67 goals managed by the visiting side.

It is worth noting that the visitors have struggled to keep clean sheets this season, managing just a single clean sheet in their previous 12 fixtures across all competitions.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Napoli: Mário Rui, Nikola Maksimovic, Elseid Hysaj, Kostas Manolas, Kevin Malcuit.

Atalanta: Duván Zapata.
