Match Preview

We take a look at a fascinating Serie A fixture in today’s free OddsDigger Atalanta vs Napoli preview and with things so tight at the top of the table, anything other than an away win this weekend could have a serious effect on the title race. La Dea are in a wonderful form though and this should be one of Napoli’s toughest games of the season.

In the weeks prior to today’s Atalanta vs Napoli betting tips, the home team have been nothing short of excellent. La Dea have lost just once in their last eleven matches and have been making steady progress both domestically and on the continent in the Europa League. In their last fixture, they shocked everyone by beating Roma 2-1 in the Italian capital, further cementing their reputation as one of the country’s most formidable outfits.

The Partenopei are determined to end Juventus’ stranglehold over Italian football this season and it already looks like a two-horse race between them and the Old Lady for the 2017/18 Scudetto. Maurizio Sarri’s men have won sixteen of their twenty Serie A contests so far, losing just once in what’s been an amazingly consistent campaign. However, their upcoming game against Atalanta promises to be one of their sternest tests yet.

Atalanta vs Napoli Prediction and Betting Advice

The clubs dissected for our Atalanta vs Napoli bets last played each other as recently as January 2nd in Naples. On that occasion, La Dea proved their mettle by eliminating their opponents from the Copa Italia Quarter Finals after securing a 2-1 victory. Sarri chose to rest some of his players for the competition, but that shouldn’t take too much away from an impressive result.

Gian Piero Gasperini has done an amazing job as manager of the Nerazzurri and has masterminded recent wins over Milan and Roma over the past couple of weeks. La Dea have already played two of the other current top four at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia this season and they held both Juventus and Lazio to draws.

Furthermore, the Partenopei have found games against this weekend’s opponents particularly tough in recent times. Sarri’s league leaders have now lost three of their last four meetings with Gasperini’s ever improving side. The double chance Serie A weekend football odds for a home win or draw we found at Sunbets are too good to turn down, so we advise you to take advantage of them while they are still available.

As good as Gasperini’s players have been ahead of today’s Atalanta vs Napoli predictions, they have conceded at least once in six of their last seven outings. Games against the likes Lazio, Napoli, and Roma were always likely to be difficult to navigate, however, but even at that, it’s clear that you can get goals against the Nerazzurri.

In attack, the home team are as consistent as they come, netting for eleven consecutive matches since the middle of November. This weekend, of course, they come up against a team famed for their expansive play and ruthless finishing. Sarri’s entertainers are the second highest scorers in Serie A this season behind Juventus.

With so much attacking talent at their disposal, they rarely fail to score – in fact, they have found the net in ten of their last twelve games alone. Only Juventus and Fiorentina have kept them out during that period. Both teams scored when they met just a couple of weeks ago in the Cup and there is every chance they will both score again on Sunday. William Hill have some brilliantly priced odds for the final part of today’s Italian football tips, making them our recommended bookmaker this time around.
