Napoli vs Atalanta prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-11-21 19:45.
[p]Separated by nine points but with neither side in strong recent form, last season’s champions Napoli host lower mid-table Atalanta this Saturday.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Napoli began this round in fourth place, just two points behind leaders Inter, in part due to a 16-game unbeaten streak at home in this competition (W12, D4). They remain the only club in Europe’s top-five leagues to have not lost a single league game at home this calendar year, last falling at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to Lazio in early December 2024. They’ll need to use that as inspiration to help lift them out of a three-game sequence without scoring across all competitions (D2, L1), as a repeat performance here would see them go three consecutive league matches without scoring for the first time since January 2024.[/p]
[p]With no victory from their last seven Serie A matches (D5, L2), their longest winless run in the top flight since a 14-game streak in 2015/16, it was no surprise to see Ivan Jurić sacked as Atalanta manager during the international break. His final assignment was a 3-0 home defeat against Sassuolo, and replacement Raffaele Palladino takes over a side who have won only one of their first five Serie A away matches this season. If the former Fiorentina boss is unable to pick up three points on Saturday, it would see La Dea fail to win at least two of their first six Serie A away trips in a new season for the first time since 2017/18.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Following successive 3-0 H2H wins for Atalanta, Napoli won the last meeting between the sides 3-2 in January. That result made it seven victories from the last eight for the away team on the day in this matchup, including each of the last four.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Napoli didn’t keep a clean sheet in any of their last four competitive wins at home.[/p]
[p]Napoli conceded before half-time in only two of their last 13 home games across all competitions.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Scott McTominay was on the scoresheet when Napoli last found the net at home to remain unbeaten in Serie A when scoring (W10, D2) whilst he also scored in the last H2H. Ademola Lookman has five goals in four starts against Napoli (W1, L3), including a brace in this fixture last season.[/p]
[p]Frank Anguissa sustained an injury on international duty and joins a long list of Napoli absentees while Atalanta have no new availability issues.[/p]
