Atalanta vs Napoli – Preview, and Prediction
Atalanta vs Napoli – Rudi Garcia wanted to rest Khvicha Kvaratshkelia and Piotr Zielinski after the UEFA Champions League draw with Union Berlin.
Two weeks ago, the French manager decided to start the two on the bench against Serie A’s bottom team, Empoli, at home.
Given that Napoli had previously been without the injured Victor Osimhen for an extended period of time, that dealt a serious blow to the attacking capabilities of the team.
It should come as no surprise that Partinopei lost to Empoli 0-1 at home without scoring. In a swift response, the board fired Rudi Garcia and named Walter Mazzarri as the new head coach.
On Saturday night in Bergamo, when Partinopei take on top-half rivals Atalanta in one of the most intriguing games of Gameweek No. 13, Mazzarri will make his debut on the Napoli bench.
Napoli fell to fourth in Serie A after losing to Empoli. They trail Inter Milan by 10 points and must avoid mistakes to win. The league rankings put Atalanta sixth, one point behind Napoli.
They had only managed one point in their previous two league games, and that was only after Ederson’s dramatic late equalizer two weeks ago in a 1-1 draw away at Udinese.

Over the previous two years, Napoli dominated this rivalry, emerging victorious in all three of their meetings with La Dea.

The Over 2.5 Goals FT & Both Teams To Score option has been successful in five of the previous six head-to-head matches between these rivals.
