Napoli Preview – Will Napoli do it at home?
Napoli have won five of their last seven games in all competitions.
One of those losses was against Juventus in the Italian Super Cup last month.
In the last round of the Coppa Italia, Napoli claimed a 4-2 home win over Spezia.
That followed up a 6-0 drubbing that they dished out to Fiorentina in the round before that.
So the goals have been flowing from the Naples club without question.
They have scored at least two goals in seven of their last nine games in all competitions.
In the match outright, they are the 7/5 favourites to pick up the win* (odds recorded 20:34 GMT Monday, 1st February).
This is no easy match for them against the in-form Atalanta however.
The last time that Napoli played host to Atalanta was earlier this season in league action.
Napoli eased to a 4-1 win in that mid-October fixture. That is their only win in their last four against Atalanta (D1 L2).
The last time that Napoli and Atalanta met in the Coppa Italia was in January 2018 and Atalanta took an away win in Naples.
Napoli are W2 D1 L3 in their last seven home fixtures against Atalanta which isn’t great.
Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings at either venue. So that’s piquing interest in football betting.
Both teams to score on its own as a betting option is odds-on. So it’s better to pair it up.
So a Napoli to win & BTTS option is at 3/1* (odds recorded 20:34 GMT Monday, 1st February).
The home form of Napoli is pretty hot. They are W7 D2 L1 in their last home fixtures in all competitions.
It’s a four-match winning streak that they are on in Naples.
Atalanta Preview – Can the visitors produce the win?
Atalanta had their long undefeated streak of form snapped on Sunday as they lost a league fixture against Lazio.
They had been unbeaten in 13 games before that.
In the previous round of the Coppa Italia, Atalanta had beaten Lazio so that was a blow to immediately turn around and lose to them in Serie A.
But still, Atalanta’s form cannot be knocked.
They have won six of their last nine games still (D2 L1).
In their two Coppa Italia games played this season they have tallied six goals.
They are a free-scoring team.
Atlanta have scored at least three goals in six of their last nine fixtures.
In the math outright for football betting, Atalanta are 7/4 underdogs* (odds recorded 20:34 GMT Monday, 1st February).
But they can’t be written out of this tie easily whatsoever.
They pose a huge threat and we see plenty of evidence of that on the road.

Atalanta took a brilliant 3-0 win against Serie A leaders Milan in their last away game.
That moved them on to an undefeated W6 D4 record from their last ten away games in all competitions.
Atalanta have only taken one clean sheet in their last five road games, so again, we expect both teams to score.
Over 3.5 goals may well be worth a punt in the fixture at 11/8* (odds recorded 20:34 GMT Monday, 1st February).
It’s not been an uncommon thing at all in Atalanta’s season.
Napoli vs Atalanta Betting Advice
This is a really tough call to make. Atalanta do pose a threat, they score well and have a good long unbeaten streak of form.
They have been struggling just a little bit recently for clean sheets on the road.
So that is why we are going to swing to the home win.
But still, over 3.5 goals at 11/8 has to be worth a look* (odds recorded 20:34 GMT Monday, 1st February).
Key Facts – Napoli vs Atalanta Betting Tip
- Napoli are on a four match winning streak at home
- Napoli won their home league game against Atalanta this season
- Atalanta are undefeated in ten road fixtures in all competitions (W6 D4)
Napoli have a four-match winning streak behind them on home soil and that leaves us with backing them.
The match outright odds at 7/5 are nothing to sneeze at for that* (odds recorded 20:34 GMT Monday, 1st February).
But for a little play at extended odds the Napoli to win & BTTS option at 3/1 does catch the eye* (odds recorded 20:34 GMT Monday, 1st February).
