"Starting with the hosts, getting their Champions League play-off adventure underway with a 2-0 loss away at German giants Borussia Dortmund earlier in the week, Atalanta will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, last seen in Serie A action putting in a rugged performance as they secured a 2-0 victory against Lazio, Raffaele Palldino's side have reignited their European dreams and they will be looking to claim a heavyweight scalp when they return to Bergamo on Sunday afternoon."
"Missing out in midweek after picking up a recent thigh issue, Atalanta are once again expected to be without Italian international Giacomo Raspadori on Sunday afternoon. Likewise, former AC Milan starlet Charles De Ketelaere remains on the sidelines with a knee issue. Reportedly attracting plenty of heavyweight European interest ahead of the summer transfer window, Brazilian ace Ederson will start in the middle of the park. Swedish international Isak Hien could be handed a full recall at the back and should make a first domestic appearance since January 25th."
"As for the visitors, while Napoli might have made real history last season as they stormed their way to an iconic fourth Serie A crown, Antonio Conte's side have drastically failed to find a similar level this time around. Eventually forced to settle for a 2-2 stalemate at home against historic rivals Roma last time out, the former Chelsea boss also has some mounting pressure on his shoulders in Naples"
Atalanta will welcome reigning Serie A champions Napoli to Bergamo on Sunday in a heavyweight Italian showdown. Atalanta began their Champions League play-off campaign with a 2-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund and will seek an immediate response. The hosts recently beat Lazio 2-0 in Serie A and recorded a 3-0 Coppa Italia victory over Juventus, remaining unbeaten in Serie A since the New Year. Giacomo Raspadori and Charles De Ketelaere are sidelined, while Ederson is set to start and Isak Hien could return. Napoli, despite last season's title, have struggled this term and drew 2-2 with Roma, leaving Antonio Conte under pressure. Both teams to score is offered at 10/11 by Luckster.
