Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Atalanta - Napoli!

- Napoli have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa League game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Granada. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Atalanta form and stats

A strong away win for Atalanta against Cagliari the last match, as Luis Muriel were on target. Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Napoli.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of G. Gasperini when Luis Muriel scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atalanta have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost two.
