Based on last 50 matches in "Italy. Serie A", up to 01/18/2025
To build a prediction for the Atalanta - Napoli match, scheduled for 18 January 2025, several key factors could influence the outcome. Atalanta have played 50 matches, in which they won 30 of them, drew 9 times and lost 11 matches. Napoli, having played 50 matches, won 24 times, drew 14 matches and lost 12 defeats. In the league, Atalanta average 2.1 goals scored per game and 1.1 conceded. Napoli average 1.4 scored and 1 conceded. These sides last met on 2 November 2024 at Napoli's ground, where the away side proved stronger.
Napoli will also set themselves the highest goals today and look more than capable in attack. At least one goal from them should definitely be expected, but I think they are quite capable of scoring 2 goals.
Both teams prefer attacking football. Therefore, Total Over is to be expected. But Atalanta have not won in 2025, which is why I am taking Napoli not to lose. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's departure will not prevent the visitors from earning points.
Statistically, the referee does not skimp on warnings and hands them out left and right. Napoli sold their strong winger, but did not lose pace in attack. Both teams are technically skilled, and they have to break the rules to stop such skilful players, with no shortage of yellow cards.
