Napoli vs Atalanta
Napoli will host Atalanta in Serie A Giornata 33. After coming out of some competition, Napoli are now focused on locking second place in Serie A. Napoli’s defeat of Arsenal in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals last week dispelled Napoli’s dream of winning the Europa League this season. Napoli lost 0-1 in Naples after previously in London, Arkadiusz Milik and colleagues collapsed with a score of 0-2. In Serie A, Juventus’ victory over Fiorentina on Saturday (04/20) last night also made Napoli’s resistance in the race for this season’s Scudetto stalled. Although still leaving 5 weeks, but mathematically Napoli has been impossible to exceed the acquisition of Juventus points. Now, Napoli is only focused on securing second place in the Serie A.
Napoli did have to get up, the poor performance they performed in the last few games they had to fix. The reason is, the result of the poor performances they have displayed in the last 3 matches in Serie A has made Napoli’s second place position even more insecure. Napoli, currently collecting 67 points, are only 6 points adrift of Inter in second place. Napoli’s move in their remaining 6 matches this season is not too heavy, but at least there are two teams that have the potential to hinder their mission, namely Atalanta and Inter. Atalanta itself will be an opponent for Napoli in the next match and this match will certainly not be easy for Napoli.
This season is arguably the best season at Atalanta in the last few decades. Currently they sit in 6th place with a collection of 53 points and still have a big enough chance to be able to finish in the top 4 considering they are only 3 points behind Milan in 4th place. Atalanta clearly won’t let the distance widen and will do everything possible to steal points at the San Paolo later. Atalanta will indeed be a worthy opponent for Napoli. Besides being very ambitious to be able to finish in the top 4, Atalanta’s performance has been quite impressive lately. The team nicknamed La Dea is unbeaten in their last 8 matches in Serie A with details of 4 wins and 4 draws. This record will clearly be a big threat to Napoli.
