Last week, Atalanta netted two times without reply against Empoli courtesy of strikes from Hans Hateboer and Ademola Lookman. It was Atalanta’s eighth league-win of the campaign. Prior to that, the Black and Blues suffered a 2-0 defeat to Lazio, which was their first league-defeat of the season. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have been pretty solid at the back, having conceded only eight goals thus far, a record only bettered by Juventus in the Serie A.
Napoli, on the other hand, suffered their first defeat of the season against Liverpool on Tuesday night. Meanwhile the result didn’t have any serious implications as the Blues were through to the knockout stages of the Champions League as Group A winners. Prior to that, Luciano Spalletti’s side netted four times without reply against Sassuolo last Saturday. Victory Osimhen netted a hat-trick, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored once to help Napoli register their 10th league-win of the season.
Atalanta probable starting lineup: Musso, Toloi, Demiral, Djimsiti, Hateboer, Pasalic, Koopmeiners, Soppy, Ederson, Lookman, Muriel
Napoli probable starting lineup: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Kim, Jesus, Rui, Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski, Lozano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
