Napoli vs. Atalanta: Match Prediction
Antonio Conte's side is experiencing a slight dip in form, but they are expected to play aggressively and focus on attacking football at home. Historically, Napoli has been prolific in front of goal: in their last 16 home Serie A matches, they have failed to score only once. Moreover, in 11 of these games, Napoli scored at least twice.
Atalanta is also known for their attacking style, even when playing away. In their last 13 away league matches, the team has only failed to score twice, and in six instances during this period, Atalanta scored at least three goals. However, their defense has been less reliable, with only one clean sheet in their last six away Serie A matches.
I anticipate a high-scoring game in this match. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
