Watch Online: Napoli - Atalanta (Serie A) 04.12.2021 19:45 - Saturday
Despite the unconvincing results lately, Napoli remains at the top of Serie A. Only once did the "Sky Blues" win in the previous four rounds, allowing the first defeat of the season in a 2:3 loss to Inter. During the week, the title contender visited Sassuolo and had two goals advantage till 71st minute, but were not convincing enough and allowed their opponent to score twice, and even a goal of the hosts was canceled by VAR in the last seconds.
Today it will not be easier for Napoli, as Atalanta is in quite good shape. The team from Bergamo is in a series of four consecutive wins in Serie A and a total of eight games without a defeat in the championship. We can distinguish the three points in Turin against Juventus, although they came after the only shot on target in the match. During the week, the newcomer Venezia was beaten 4:0 at home.
So far, both teams have 32 goals scored, but there are still two more successful teams. Surprisingly, they do quite well in defense, as the conceded goals from the hosts are only nine, and seventeen goals by the standards of the guests are not many. With three points today, Napoli will be able to forge a comfortable lead over this opponent, but in the event of a loss, the battle at the top will become even more complicated.
The best host and the best guest in the championship come out on the field on Saturday. Both teams missed only two points, respectively at home and away and have an impressive goal difference. It is already clear for Atalanta that they left with three points from the derby in Turin, and the other visit ended with a result 2:2 against Inter in Milano.
A week ago, Atalanta managed to keep a clean sheet against Juventus, but today it will be much harder for them in defense and I do not expect the atomic attack of the hosts to be stopped, despite the lack of Osimhen and Insigne. The last match between the two teams here in the championship offered five goals and in February the "Black and Blues" won 4:2 at home. The overs so far predominate in the games of both teams and I expect a new spectacular clash between them.
