Antonio Conte’s impression has been immense this season, as Napoli have taken Serie A by storm.
The Italian giants have already opened up a four-point advantage at the summit after winning eight of their opening ten matches, and they are yet to lose in their last nine since defeat on the opening day.
Atalanta will be the visitors to Naples on Sunday, as they look to put pressure on the leaders. The Italian side sit third in the standings after winning each of their last four. A win this weekend could see them end the round as high as second.
Odds
Atalanta will be the outside selection this weekend, priced up at +275. A home win could prove to be a value angle at +104.
| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Napoli | +104 |

In home matches, Napoli have lost two of their last three against Atalanta, with their only win coming in their title-winning season in 2022-23.

Napoli vs. Atalanta Prediction
Napoli’s poor home record against Atalanta would be a slight concern ahead of this showdown on Sunday.
Atalanta’s pace in behind will likely cause Conte’s side problems, but the form of the league leaders is incredibly hard to bet against, and at odds-against, they are great value.
