Napoli – Atalanta

The match between Napoli and Atalanta will be relatively high-scoring.

Atalanta suffered a heavy defeat to Sassuolo in the last round, and this became the last match for Ivan Juric at the helm of the team. The first goal of the match was scored in the 29th minute. Domenico Berardi flawlessly converted a penalty. The second half began with a goal from Pinamonti, who increased the advantage for the Bergamaschi. Despite the attempts of the 'guests' to come back, it was Sassuolo who scored the third and final goal in this match. Berardi's brace marked the end of Juric's career in Bergamo. During this time, the Croatian specialist shared points eight times, won four times, and lost three times. Were these results worth the dismissal? A big question. Often, the main problem for Atalanta has been the realization of moments. To what extent was this due to Juric's fault? A big question. Nevertheless, starting from the reporting match, Atalanta will be led by Roberto Palladino. Napoli is experiencing personnel problems and is struggling with results. The 'Azzurri' have gone three matches without a win. In the last round, the 'Partenopei' lost 2-0 to Bologna. The 'Rossoblu' confidently dealt with Antonio Conte's charges thanks to goals from Dallinga and Lucumi. Before that, the 'Partenopei' played to a 'dry' draw with Eintracht in the Champions League and with Como in the championship. It is worth noting the results of the last head-to-head matches between the opponents. The proposed bet played in four of the last five matches of the teams, and there was one return on it. Last season, the teams were quite prolific. On the field of 'Diego Armando Maradona', the Bergamaschi secured a victory with a score of 0-3. The Neapolitans took revenge in the second-round match, which ended with a score of 2-3. The 'Partenopei' have a significant shortfall in the xGA metric. According to this, Antonio Conte's charges were supposed to have conceded 4.32 goals more. Atalanta has a shortfall in xG statistics. The 'Goddess' statistically should have scored another 3.44 goals. Napoli have not scored for three matches in a row. Obviously, this streak cannot last forever, and the break for international matches should help in this. At the same time, the coaching change should give a new impetus to the Bergamaschi. The head-to-head results show that this game can and should be productive. This is what one should bet on.
