Prediction: 1-1
Napoli
All eyes will be on Gewiss Stadium when Atalanta and Napoli square off against each other in the Serie A derby. The Orobici faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Empoli, with the team quickly bouncing back from a loss to Lazio, and they are now on a quest to melt Napoli’s advantage to only two points. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but midfielder Marten De Roon remains in the recovery room.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team dropping only four points in total in the new Serie A campaign. Luciano Spalletti’s men impressed in a 4-0 win over Sassuolo, but beating Atalanta in Bergamo is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, both teams should be happy with one point from Saturday’s showdown. A man to watch in the away side will be Victor Osimhen, who scored a hat-trick at the weekend, while goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu and defender Amir Rrahmani are sidelined with injuries.
