Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Atalanta take on second placed Napoli as the betting tips continue in Serie A on Monday night with the hosts looking to return to winning ways.
Atalanta’s encouraging four-match winning streak came to an abrupt end with a 3-2 defeat away at Empoli last weekend which halted a previous impressive winning run that included victories over Chievo, Parma, Bologna and perhaps most impressive of all, a 4-1 home win over third placed Inter Milan.
Atalanta possess a home record which stands at 3-1-2 11/3 and although they recently lost to Cagliari and Sampdoria, the hosts bounced back in impressive fashion with a 3-0 win over arma and the aforementioned 4-1 win over Inter.
The majority of Atalanta’s goals have actually been produced by their midfield trio of Gomez (4 goals), Rigoni and Ilicic (3 goals apiece).
Napoli currently occupy second place in Serie A but already find themselves 11 points adrift of league leaders, Juventus, as they make their way to face Atalanta in this important Monday night encounter at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia in Bergamo.
The visitors are currently unbeaten in their last six matches overall, a run that includes wins over Sassuolo, Udinese, Empoli and Genoa, and with a reasonable away record of 4-0-2 11/9, they’ll be fairly confident they can walk away with something against Atalanta.
The two defeats on the road were at Sampdoria and Juventus, but the visitors are very capable of scoring goals on the road as they’ve scored 2 goals or more in 4 of their 6 away matches to date; the forward trio of Insigne and Mertens (7 goals apiece) along with Milik (4 goals) are the ones to watch for Napoli.
The betting tips fancy both teams to score here.
