Atalanta take on the visitors Napoli in the round 31 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, April 3rd at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo).
Gian Piero Gasperini's team is 6th in the table with 51 points after 29 rounds. The Bergamasks have 14 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses. Atalanta, along with Roma, remain the last Serie A teams not to be eliminated from European competition. The Goddess defeated Olympiacos (2:1, 3:0) and Bayer Leverkusen (3:2, 1:0) in the playoffs of the Europa League and made it to the 1/4 finals, where on April 7 and 14 it will fight with "RB Leitzpig". In the Italian championship, Gasperini's players look less successful. La Dea lost points in matches with Roma (0:1) and Genoa (0:0), and on March 20 they could hardly cope with Bologna on its field (1:0). Mustafa Cisse's goal in the 82nd minute brought the victory to the guests.

Luciano Spalletti's team is in 2nd place in the Italian championship with 63 points. The Neapolitans have 19 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in 30 matches. Napoli have already been eliminated from European competition, so they have focused on playing in Serie A. Spalletti's players are among the main contenders for the title. 8 rounds before the finish of the championship, the Neapolitans are 3 points behind the leading AC Milan. After a home defeat from the Milanese at the beginning of last month (0:1), the Azzurri gained maximum points in the next 2 rounds. Napoli defeated Verona (2:1) on the road, and on March 19 they defeated Udinese (2:1) at home thanks to a brace from Victor Osimhen.
The posiibility of Atalanta's victory is not very high. "Goddess" in the current season of Serie A rarely indulges fans with home victories. In 14 rounds, the Bergamasks beat only Sassuolo (2:1), La Spezia (5:2), Venice (4:0) and Sampdoria (4:0), therefore, in the match with Napoli, the hosts fields will be difficult to count on 3 points. The Neapolitans play well in away matches. In 15 outings, the "parthenopeans" got 10 wins and did not gained points only in the confrontation with the current champion - Milan "Inter" (2:3). The motivation of Spalletti's men in the race for the title should help them in Bergamo. The history of face-to-face meetings indicates the frequent passage of bets on total over 1.5. Opponents have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of the last 9 Serie A and Coppa Italia games. Let's assume it will repeat again, taking into account the losses of the teams in the defense.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with +0.5 handicap + over 1.5 goals scored in the match.
