Napoli will be looking to continue their flying start to the 2024-25 Italian top flight campaign on Sunday afternoon when they host Atalanta.
The hosts didn’t start the new season the way they would have liked after failing to defend their 2022-23 Serie A title last season. Antonio Conte’s side played out a goalless draw with Modena in the Coppa Italia before winning on penalties and started their league campaign with a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Hellas Verona. However, things have been much different since then with the Gli Azzuri unbeaten in ten across all competitions and sit at the top of the Serie A table.
Atalanta also bring a very strong form into Sunday’s fixture. La Dea are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions, registering five wins and two draws. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side didn’t only win five of the six Serie A games played in that spell but scored average two goals per game.
Napoli vs Atalanta Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Napoli boast seven clean sheets from their last eight games across all competitions, with the only game they conceded being the 3-1 win over Como at this ground over a month ago. However, the Blues don’t have a solid defensive record against Atalanta as they shipped three goals the last time the two sides made and kept just one clean sheet in the last seven Serie A meetings.
Recent encounters between Napoli and Atalanta in all competitions have also been notable for their entertaining nature. All but one of the last eight ended with over 2.5 goals and I fancy Sunday’s game to end similarly.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Napoli vs Atalanta prediction: 2-1

Napoli team news
Given the fantastic display in the 2-0 win over Milan last time out, head coach Antonio Conte is not expected to make wholesale changes to his XI.
Having netted his fourth goal of the campaign in that encounter, Romelu Lukaku is expected to lead the line and will be supported by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Matteo Politano.
On the injury front, the Gli Azzuri will be without the services of Stanislav Lobotka and Nikita Contini due to hamstring and muscle injuries, respectively.
