Atalanta coach Gasperini makes four changes since the 0-0 draw with Udinese. Demoralized, Lookman, Boga and the injured Koopmeiners drop out of the starting XI. There are four new players with Éderson, Scalvini, Zapata and Pašalić. In particular, the coach is hoping for more offensive power than last time as a result of the changes. Tactically, a 3-4-3 formation is to be expected.
17:42
Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti makes one change to his team since the 1-0 defeat by Lazio. Hirving Lozano is not in the squad and will be replaced by Matteo Politano. Tactically, nothing will change in the 4-3-3 system. After all, this formation has almost always been successful in recent months.

Atalanta Bergamo is sixth in the table with 42 points. The gap to the Champions League positions is five points. Accordingly, a victory would be helpful to establish the connection. However, the northern Italians are not in good form and have collected just one point from the last three games. After defeats against Lecce and Milan, there was a goalless draw against Udinese.
17:14
The hosts from Naples are at the top of Serie A with a whopping 15 points lead. Most recently, however, the series of seven competitive wins in a row broke with a 0-1 defeat against Lazio Roma. For Napoli, however, this was only the second Serie A defeat of the current season.
