📰 Team News: Atalanta

Atalanta boss Gian Gasperini has zero fitness concerns to speak of coming into this game owing to a completely healthy group available to select from.

In all likelihood, La Dea look set to opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation for the game with Pierluigi Gollini, Mattia Caldara, Berat Djimsiti, Rafael Toloi, Timothy Castagne, Mario Pasalic, Remo Freuler, Hans Hateboer, Alejandro Dario Gomez, Josip Ilicic and Duván Zapata.

ℹ️ Team News: Napoli

Owing to an otherwise healthy group of players, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Napoli gaffer Gennaro Gattuso to be concerned about. Kévin Malcuit (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that Partenopei seem most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 formation, settling for Alex Meret, Elseid Hysaj, Nikola Maksimovic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mario Rui, Fabián Ruiz Peña, Stanislav Lobotka, Elif Elmas, Jose Maria Callejon, Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne.

💡 Prediction

In this match, Napoli will need to play some great football to find the net against a Atalanta team who look set to create many chances to win well.

We predict a very comprehensive 3-0 victory for Atalanta by the conclusion of the match.
