Four points separate these two sides in the title race.

We have an exciting clash coming up between two powerhouses of Italian football. Third-place Atalanta welcome league leaders Napoli at the Gewiss Stadium in round 21 of Serie A action. Four points in the table separate these two teams. 

Atalanta have impressed with their attacking display this season scoring the second most goals in the Serie A so far. La Dea are currently languishing in third spot in the standings with 43 points from 20 matches. However, they will be disappointed with how they dropped points in the last three matches. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have drawn three consecutive matches in a row scoring just two goals and conceding another two.

Napoli on the other hand are heading into this clash in sensational form. Antonio Conte’s side have won five consecutive matches in a row and deservedly occupy the top spot in the standings. While they have impressed with their attacking displays, it is their defensive performance that has stood out this season. They have registered the most clean sheets this season with ten so far and will be eyeing another one here.

Players to Watch

Mateo Retegui (⁠Atalanta)

Mateo Retegui is back with a bang making his return from injury with a well-taken goal against Juventus last match. This season, he has already scored 13 goals from 18 matches in Serie A while also providing another three assists. It has been an incredible debut season for him as he has shown in matches that he is here to make a statement with his performances.  

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (Napoli)

Anguissa has been one of the standout players for Napoli this season. The Cameroonian international has been in fine scoring form lately having scored three goals in his last five matches despite being a midfielder. He has emerged as a complete player this term who is a destroyer in the middle of the park while also chips in with the goals.
