Napoli return to action against Atalanta on Saturday evening still searching for their first win in four matches. Antonio Conte will look to steady the ship after a poor run before the international break. The champions slumped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Bologna last time out. Despite that, Napoli remain firmly in the title race. Conte’s men are only two points off league leaders Inter and still unbeaten at the Stadio Maradona this season.
At the other end, Atalanta arrive with problems of their own. Their 3-0 defeat to Sassuolo before the break extended their winless run to eight Serie A matches. It prompted the club to part ways with Ivan Juric. New boss Raffaele Palladino now takes the reins, inheriting a team stuck in 13th place and struggling to rediscover its intensity. Their only bright spot this month was a Champions League win over Marseille.
Raffaele Palladino will make his debut in the Atalanta dugout this weekend 👋

Napoli’s home form has been a crucial anchor to their campaign, with four wins from five league matches in Naples. It has been complemented well by strong Champions League results against Sporting Lisbon and Eintracht Frankfurt. The challenge now will be to restore momentum. As a result, Napoli will know they cannot afford another misstep.
With the top of the table tightly packed, even one more slip could see them fall out of the early title race. Conte will be expecting a sharper display in attack, which has looked blunt in recent weeks. With both teams under pressure to respond, Saturday evening at the Maradona promises to be tense and tactical.

Based on the recent form of both sides, Under 2.5 goals looks like the sensible call here. Napoli have failed to score in each of their last three matches. Atalanta, meanwhile, have also struggled in front of goal, scoring just twice across their last four league games. With both teams lacking confidence in the final third, another low-scoring contest feels highly likely.
Hojlund is Napoli’s most reliable attacking outlet, scoring 4 goals in 10 appearances across Serie A and the Champions League this season. Even though Napoli’s overall form has dipped, the Danish striker continues to find good positions and remains Conte’s main focal point up front. With Atalanta struggling defensively, Hojlund should get enough chances to make an impact.
