Napoli failed to keep Real Madrid the win at Santiago Bernabeu. In the Champions League was lost 3-1 to the Spanish powerhouse, giving Napoli a slap gave up after another series of victories in Serie A. Southern Italians Saturday get a chance to wash away the hangover in the match against Atalanta Bergamo.
Napoli
Napoli admittedly lost in the Champions League, but in Serie A currently running everything smoothly. The men of Maurizio Sarri left lying during the first weeks of the season, a relatively large number of points, but then Napoli recovered phenomenal. In late October last year, Napoli lost narrowly 2-1 in Turin Juventus, but then neither team still managed to get the Neapolitans to its knees. Napoli has now been 14 games unbeaten in Serie A and the recent games have shown that more than Napoli pretty in shape. A setback was incidentally the 1-1 draw in their own stadium against relegation candidate Palermo, but Napoli then recovered by victories against Bologna (1-7), Genoa (2-0) and Chievo Verona (1-3). so the form appears to be ideal to also beat Atalanta Bergamo, but it seems inconceivable that Napoli just as the opponent will walk through. Furthermore, the heavy trip to Spain could also still affect the play of the current number three in the Serie A.
In terms of fitness in the selection is, moreover, little reason to complain. Lorenzo Tonelli will have to let it take because of injury, but his absence will not affect the performance of Napoli for his home crowd. Kalidou koulibaly as it kicked off Saturday’s good ‘just’ but the Senegalese will have to demonstrate his fitness or by means of a test on race day because there are some doubts about it. Arkadiusz Milik’s been awhile fit, but it is expected that he will again have to sit on the bench. Dries Mertens, Jose Callejon and Lorenzo Insigne Sarri offers attackers who are in great shape and therefore he will leave intact his attack. Allan got injured last week, but the selection of Napoli has enough quality to cope with this.
Probable lineup SSC Napoli
Reina, Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam, Zielinski, Diawara, Hamsik, Callejon, Mertens, Insignia
Atalanta
The victories are like strung during the first months of the season and therefore the men of Gian Piero Gasperini may still hoping for a ticket to the Europa League. The current hole number three Napoli is otherwise only six points and a victory in Naples could greatly boost the pressure on that team. Atalanta Bergamo was expected that there would be a relapse, but for now there is absolutely no such thing. Out of 15 possible points, the team gathered in the last 5 games, 13, which Atalanta will travel with a good feeling to Naples. Last week offered the confrontation with the lurching Crotone the opportunity to once again work hard on self-confidence, but when the hosts took it easy. Andrea Conti put just after tea 1-0 on the board and the goal proved to be just enough for the win.
To amaze Italy by securing a top three ranking Atalanta will still have to go the extra mile because there are few points may be lost. Despite the good shape the formation of Gasperini will appear Saturday as underdogs at kickoff. It is striking to Atalanta this season already won by Napoli. For Napoli home crowd was treated to a 1-0 defeat.
In terms of staffing Gasperini has access to its best potential. Players like Abdoulay Konko, Bryan Cabezas and Filippo Melegoni will this match because of missing their injuries, but that will not affect the performance in Naples. These players have long been sidelined and it can therefore be said that Atalanta Saturday with the strongest possible team will compete.
Probable lineup Atalanta
Berisha, Toloi, Caldara, Masiello, Conti, Kessie, Freuler, Spinazzola, Kurtić, Petagna, Gomez
