Match Time & Date:

18:00
Prediction: 3-1
Napoli
Napoli will be aiming to get their revenge on Atalanta for the Coppa Italia defeat when the two teams go head to head in Bergamo on Matchday 23. The Neapolitans did well to beat Juventus thanks to Lorenzo Insigne’s penalty, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Since all Mertens, Ospina, Petagna, Ghoulam, Hysaj, Koulibaly, Manolas, and Lozano are out of contention for the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on the Orobici.
Atalanta defeated Cagliari on the road thanks to Muriel’s late goal, meaning that they are high on sprits ahead of Sunday’s showdown. Hateboer should be the only absentee in the home team, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the Gewiss Stadium outfit. In their last meeting in Bergamo in the Serie A Atalanta defeated Napoli 2-0.
