Draw or Napoli Win and Over 1.5 Goals
According to the statistics, there is a 67% chance for a Napoli win and 29% for an Atalanta win. In addition, the possibility of a draw is 35%. In the total goals market meanwhile, Atalanta’s 79% of home games and Napoli’s 80% of away games saw over 1.5 goals.
Atalanta 0 Corners Handicap
Usually, Atalanta in their home fixtures in Serie A win six corners per game. Meanwhile, Napoli while playing on the road have an average of 4.27 corners per game. In the last two h2h meetings, Atalanta won one or more corners than Napoli did.
Anytime Correct Score 1-1
Recent matches between Atalanta and Napoli are tight ones as can be seen from the fact that the 1-1 score was present in their last two meetings. Moreover, in Napoli’s four of their last six Serie A fixtures there was a time when the score showed 1-1.
Atalanta lost a lot of ground since the start of the year and in the last nine rounds to be exact. In detail, La Dea were comfortably holding the fourth position but collecting nine points from the last nine Serie A games, saw them slip down to sixth.
Moreover, there is an alarming attacking issue for Gasperini. Apart from the 4-0 win over Sampdoria, Atalanta scored just three goals in the remaining last eight games. That form dropped La Dea’s scoring average of 1.76 for the season to 0.88 in the last eight rounds.
With 51 points, Gasperini’s team is now eight points behind a fourth place and a Champions League berth. Hence, the remaining eight matches are crucial for La Dea to stay in contention for playing in Europe.

Napoli’s chances of winning the Scudetto for the first time since 1990 are still intact. In fact, the Blues are now three points behind leaders AC Milan and need a fine winning streak. In addition, Spaletti’s team is showing the form that they were at the beginning of the season.
In the last ten games. Napoli won seven drew two and lost one which is a very good record. However, Spaletti will hope his defense will be more reliable as they conceded in each of their last six Serie A fixtures. At the other end, the Napoli attackers are doing their job well scoring twice in each of the last two matches.
Atalanta vs Napoli Prediction
This will be a tough tactical battle between two Italian tacticians Gasperini and Spaletti. Recent games between these two had plenty of goals but we predict a tighter one on Sunday. Obviously, both teams need the three points in pursuit of their ambitions and that may lead to the coaches being more cautious than usual.
To conclude, we think Napoli have more incentive as they chase the Scudetto and are closer to a win. Nonetheless, we won’t take anything off Atalanta and predict that La Dea are capable of at least getting a point. Hence, a double chance of a draw or away win combined with over 1.5 goals is our pick.
Safe Bet
In Atalanta’s 64% of home games, there were goals at both ends. Also in three of La Dea’s last five home games BTTS happened. In addition, the last three h2h meetings saw both teams score. Hence we will back both teams to score on Sunday with odds of 1.66.
Quick Rich
A draw has a higher possibility to be realized than a home win as we look at the stats. Moreover, both teams had two draws in their last five home and away games. With odds of 3.40, we recommend backing a draw at the Gewiss for a quick profit.
Atalanta vs Napoli First Goalscorer
Manager Gian Piero Gasperini relies heavily on Luis Muriel in attack. Notably, the Colombian scored 44 goals for Atalanta in 89 games since 2019. The bookies are favoring Muriel to open the scoring in this game with odds of 6.50 and we will back it.
