Napoli take on the visitors Atalanta in the round 11 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, November 3rd at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli had a disappointing season last year. Not only did they fail to defend their Scudetto—Spalletti seemingly knew why he left right after clinching that long-awaited title—but Napoli also missed out on European competitions altogether. To add to their troubles, Osimhen left abruptly after the transfer window had closed in most top leagues, moving on loan to Galatasaray. However, these setbacks haven’t deterred Conte; in fact, Napoli brought in several players under his leadership, notably Lukaku, as well as McTominay. After a close win against Modena in the Coppa Italia (only on penalties) and a tough 0-3 loss to Verona in Serie A, Napoli went unbeaten except against Juventus, with their latest triumph being a 2-0 victory over Milan.

Atalanta strives to build momentum. The Bergamo side had a strong season after a brief lull. They not only reclaimed a top-four spot in Serie A but also secured an international title by winning the Europa League, though they fell to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final. This success led them back to the Europa League, where they've so far claimed victory only against Shakhtar Donetsk (3-0), while holding both Arsenal and Celtic to scoreless draws. In Serie A, this revamped squad initially struggled with a few losses but then hit their stride, achieving a 5-1 win over Genoa, a 6-1 against Verona, and a more modest 2-0 win over Monza.
Napoli had won four consecutive meetings, but in March, they were handed a 0-3 loss at home by Atalanta. The visitors have improved, but so have the hosts. Considering the home advantage, Napoli’s winning streak is likely to continue.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win.
