Napoli form and stats
This stadium, Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, has been a fortress for Napoli in the Serie A so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-1-0.
An away draw last time out for Napoli, facing Sassuolo in a game that ended 2-2.

Fabián Ruiz (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.81/10. Ruiz scored one goal and had 38 successful passes (of 45 total).
Ahead of that match, Napoli won a home game hosting Lazio (4-0).This is expected to be a close game, with Napoli perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Napoli as a small favourite), we find one game. Napoli has won one of these, drawn zero and lost zero.
The Napoli manager L. Spalletti has got the team scoring with 15 from 7 home games in the league. Napoli have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Atalanta form and stats
Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Atalanta so far, with 6-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Serie A statistics. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Torino game have they lost an away game, meaning Atalanta has taken points from seven away matches in a row.
180 minutes! That's how long the Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Agustin Musso and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Teun Koopmeiners and Mario Pašalić (3) scored in Atalanta's previous match, the home game against Venezia that ended 4-0. As you can tell from the results above, Atalanta was very dominant against Venezia, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Teun Koopmeiners and Mario Pašalić (3) providing the goals. Mario Pašalić certainly enjoyed Atalanta's last game versus Venezia, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-0 victory. Mario Pašalić, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 9.52. Pašalić scored three goals, hit one key pass and had 40 successful passes (of 45 total).
Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Juventus.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Atalanta playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Atalanta win, one draw and two defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Villarreal in just four days.
