After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Napoli and Atalanta in this fresh Serie A season. Read our match preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Napoli form and stats
The hosts won their first Serie A game here at Stadio San Paolo, Napoli, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Napoli last season were 10 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from 19 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Napoli, as their goalkeeper Alex Meret has completely shut out the opponents for 248 minutes in the Serie A.
Napoli's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 6-0 versus Genoa (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. In the game before, an away victory match versus Parma with a 2-0 scoreline.
As mentioned above, Napoli "killed" Genoa in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Napoli has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Atalanta form and stats
Atalanta are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Serie A.
Atalanta won their last game, 5-2 versus Cagliari played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Lazio at their stadium, the result 4-1.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Atalanta, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Atalanta has another fixture away, a Champions League game, against Midtjylland in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
8 goals so far away for Atalanta, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Napoli four wins, one draw and Atalanta five victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
