The biggest clash in Serie A this weekend is between league leaders Napoli and sixth-placed Atalanta at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday. Here are the best betting picks for this fixture.
Napoli took an unexpected hit last weekend as they recorded just their second Serie A defeat this season in a 1-0 loss at home to Lazio.
Luciano Spalletti’s team had won eight consecutive league games prior to last weekend’s loss and will hope to get back on track. The Blues have 65 points from 25 games and currently sit at the top of the league table, 15 points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan.
Atalanta, on the other hand, have been on a slippery slope, picking up just one win in their last six league games and failing to win in three consecutive league games.
La Dea are currently sixth with 45 points, five points away from the UEFA Europa League qualification spot.
Napoli will be without Mario Rui, who remains suspended after his red card against Empoli, while Hirving Lozano is sidelined with an injury.
Teun Koopmeiners and Davide Zappacosta are unavailable for Atalanta due to thigh strains.
Napoli v Atalanta betting tips and odds
*The odds were correct at time of posting
Napoli to win @ 1.67 odds on Bet9ja
Napoli picked up another rare defeat against Lazio last weekend and will hope to bounce back against Atalanta. Prior to the Lazio defeat, Napoli’s last defeat was against Inter in January, after which they went on an eight-game winning streak.
We expect a reaction from Spalletti’s men, and Atalanta are the ones on the receiving end. Napoli have won 10 of their 12 home games in Serie A this season, only behind Inter in home points, although the Nerazzurri have played one more game at home.
Napoli Over 1.5 @ 1.70 odds on SportyBet
In the eight league games prior to the loss to Lazio, Napoli scored two goals or more. The Blues also scored two goals or more in eight consecutive home games before last weekend’s home defeat. Given how Napoli have responded to defeats this season, backing them to put at least two goals past an off-form Atalanta side is a good deal at 1.70 odds.
Victor Osimhen to score @ 1.98 odds on SportyBet
Osimhen’s scoring streak was broken last weekend, as the Nigeria international had scored in seven consecutive games before drawing a blank against Lazio. Osimhen is Napoli’s go-to guy for goals this season, as evident by his league-leading 19 goals.
