Napoli vs Atalanta prediction and preview 

Napoli let a piece of silverware slip from their hands less than a fortnight ago when they lost the Supercoppa Italiana to Juventus. The defending champions will hope to keep hold of a shot at the Coppa Italia and will be keen to begin the fixture well at home. Manager Gennaro Gattuso has been under scrutiny in recent weeks, which has eased with back to back victories over Spezia and Parma. However, calls for his sacking will return if the Partenopei fail to win against Atalanta.

As for Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini is hoping for his side's first major piece of silverware since 1963. La Dea reached the Coppa Italia final as recently as 2019, where they were defeated by Lazio. Having brushed them aside in the cup quarterfinals, Atalanta fell to a disappointing league defeat at home and will have to do a lot better if they wish to earn any sort of advantage in Naples. Napoli are favourites for the clash at home and will be hoping to seal a sizeable advantage before the return leg next week.

Napoli vs Atalanta team news

Gennaro Gattuso has a largely clean bill of health with a healthy competition for places in his first XI. Only Dries Mertens, who has struggled with injuries this campaign is the major absentee, while Fabian Ruiz could return if he gets  a negative COVID-19 test. Andrea Petagna could start up front in place of Victor Osimhen, while David Ospina could replace Alex Meret in goal. As for Atalanta, Jose Luis Palomino is suspended, while Cristian Romero picked up a suspension after being sent-off in the quarter-final. Backup  Bosko Sutalo is also in doubt, so Mattia Caldara could get the nod. Luis Muriel could also return to the line-up, while new signing Joakim Maehle could continue on the right, as Hans Hateboer remains a concern.
