This week Napoli is scheduled to host Atalanta. I think the match will definitely be very interesting. The reason is, if Napoli is able to win the match in this match, then it is certain that Napoli will move up to 6th place and Atalanta will drop to 7th place in Serie A. So, if this really happens (Napoli manages to win against Atalanta), then Napoli has a chance big to continue advancing to the ranking 4 of Serie A. However, I am very confident that in this match Napoli can beat Atalanta. In fact, if you look at the ranking in Serie A, Atalanta is currently better. However, if you look at the head to head record from the last 5 meetings between Atalanta and Napoli, the result is that Napoli is ahead with 4 wins and only 1 defeat. So I am very confident that in this match Napoli will definitely be able to win over Atalanta.
Apart from that, Napoli is currently in very good condition. Because, not a single player was injured. So you can be sure that Napoli will host Atalanta with full strength this week. Meanwhile, Atalanta currently has two of its main players injured. So this will definitely affect Atalanta's performance on the field. But even so, Atalanta is also a team to be reckoned with this season. Because, Atalanta's achievements this season can be said to be quite good. So even though Napoli is superior in this match, Atalanta still cannot be underestimated by Napoli.
Looking at the last five matches, both of them are in quite different conditions because Napoli are unbeaten and can produce nine points while Atalanta suffered two defeats and only produced five points, there has been quite a decline in Atalanta in recent times so that their position in the standings is getting uncertain and has a chance of getting lower if we look at your predictions about the big match later.
Napoli are indeed the favorites in this match and it could be because of the host factor that they are the favorites, but unfortunately this season Napoli are not superior even though they are playing at home because they have experienced four defeats and also four draws, so it is very possible for Atalanta to make the match end in a draw which will also keep their position safe for the time being.
However, if Napoli win it will be very good for theme who this season have always had difficulty showing their best game and by getting three points it will open up the opportunity to be able to play in one of the European competitions, but I doubt they will be able to finish in the top four, because if we look at the points in the top four position with one remaining place will likely belong to Bologna or AS Roma, unless these two teams experience bad result so that the teams below them have the opportunity to get close or even shift their position later.
It's quite unfortunate that as defending champions, Napoli failed to defend their title and what's worse, the opportunity to play in the Champions League seems to have been closed.
