AFCON 2025
While Napoli are great they face a feisty Atalanta team also in good run of form. The Bergamo side is a 7 game unbeaten streak in all competitions. Atalanta 4 games on the bounce in the Serie A. And they have recorded huge wins against Verona [6-1] and Genoa [5-1] in their recent matches.
Under Italian manager, Antonio Conte, Napoli have been on a good run of form, being on a 10 game unbeaten run after losing the first game of the season against Verona. In the 10 game run, Napoli have won 9 game, dropping points only against Juventus [in a goalless draw]. Their most recent in the league was a 3-0 win against AC Milan at the San Siro.
Napoli are impressive under the stewardship of Antonio Conte, and are now being tipped as favourites for the league title.
Balon d’or nominee and Nigerian forward, Ademola Lookman, is the club’s star player and currently plays a key role in the forward line. In the match against Verona, Lookman scored twice and provided 2 assists. And he was also awarded the winning the man of the match.
The possibility of Atalanta causing an upset is not farfetched, as Napoli could not defeat Atalanta and lost 3-0 in their last meeting in 2024 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples. With the recent form of both sides, fans will be expecting a feisty match and hoping for goals.
