Atalanta vs Napoli prediction and betting tips on January 18, 2025

Game Prediction

On January 18, 2025, the 21st round of Serie A will feature a pivotal clash between Atalanta and Napoli. Both teams are among the league leaders, and the result will have a direct impact on their chances of winning the Scudetto.
Our prediction for Atalanta vs Napoli
The "Bergamaschi" fully emerged from their slump last season. They not only edged Bologna for fourth place in Serie A but also clinched the Europa League trophy. However, they fell short in the Coppa Italia final, losing to a struggling Juventus. Meanwhile, Napoli experienced a collapse following their sensational Scudetto win, finishing in 10th place.
Antonio Conte took over in Naples during the summer. Although his debut was marked by a heavy loss to Verona and an early Coppa Italia exit at the hands of Lazio, Napoli managed to remain in contention at the top of the Serie A table. They reinforced their credentials in their last match with a 2-0 victory over Verona, despite the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Atalanta has returned to the Champions League strongly, securing three wins and 11 points in the group stage. However, they struggled in the Supercups (UEFA and Italian) but faced no issues in the domestic cup. Despite overcoming a slow start in Serie A to climb to first place, their recent form has dipped, as evidenced by draws against Udinese and Juventus.
Atalanta remains true to its high-scoring style, averaging 2.2 goals per match while conceding 1.05. They face a stark contrast in Napoli, a team that scores 1.68 goals per match but concedes only 0.6.
