Napoli vs Atalanta Prediction and Betting Tips | March 11th 2023

Napoli play host to Atalanta at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in round 26 of the Italian Serie A on Saturday.

Luciano Spalletti’s men suffered just their second league defeat of the season last time out and will be looking to return to winning ways.

Napoli were denied an eighth consecutive win across all competitions last Friday when they fell to a 1-0 loss against Lazio.

Spalletti’s side were previously on a blistering eight-game winning streak in the Serie A, stretching back to January’s 1-0 loss to Inter Milan.

With 65 points from 25 games, Napoli currently sit at the top of the league table, five points above second-placed Inter Milan.

Meanwhile, Atalanta failed to arrest their slump in form as they were held to a goalless draw by Udinese last time out.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have now failed to win their last three matches, picking up one point from the last nine available since their 2-0 win over Lazio on February 11.

With 42 points from 25 games, Atalanta are currently sixth in the Serie A table, five points off the UEFA Europa League qualification spot.
