Atalanta Faces Napoli in Serie A Showdown This Saturday

Naples, Italy — Atalanta will challenge SSC Napoli on Saturday, November 22, at 2:45 PM ET at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. This Serie A match comes after both teams faced setbacks in their last outings.

Atalanta suffered a 3-0 defeat to Sassuolo on November 9, marking their second consecutive loss in the league. Despite taking more shots than Sassuolo, 15 to 9, they could not convert any into goals.

SSC Napoli also lost in their last match, falling 2-0 to Bologna. With 60% possession, they managed only one shot on target, a disappointing result for the team. Napoli previously defeated Atalanta 3-2 in their last encounter, making them slight favorites this time around.

According to betting analyst predictions, Napoli has a 44% chance of winning, with odds set at +125. Atalanta’s odds are higher at +235. Statistics show that Napoli has secured seven wins at home in their last ten matches, averaging 1.7 goals per game while conceding 0.7.

Napoli’s lineup is expected to include goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, while Atalanta will have Marco Carnesecchi in goal. Notably, both teams have notable players to watch. For Napoli, Scott McTominay is looking to add to his four goals this season, and for Atalanta, Mario Pasalic aims to disrupt Napoli’s defense.

As the teams prepare for this important match, prediction analysts see an intriguing contest, potentially resulting in a low-scoring draw. The current over/under is set at 2.5 total goals, reflecting the expectation of a close match.
