Atalanta and Napoli will face off Sunday at the Fresh Balance Arena in Bergamo, Italy, with kickoff scheduled for 9:00 AM EST, according to CBS Sports Golazo. The Serie A match pits the defending champions, Napoli, against an Atalanta side currently in contention for a Champions League qualifying spot.
Napoli’s title defense has faltered this season, shifting their focus to securing a Champions League position. Currently holding 50 points after 25 matches, Napoli sits third in the Serie A standings. Atalanta, with 42 points from 25 games, is attempting to close the gap and challenge for fourth place alongside Roma and Juventus. Atalanta are nine matches unbeaten across Serie A and Coppa Italia clashes, with seven wins in their last ten Serie A contests.
The match comes after Atalanta suffered a 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League playoff round on Tuesday. Prior to that, Atalanta had secured three consecutive wins, including a 3-0 victory over Juventus in the Coppa Italia. Napoli, meanwhile, has been inconsistent in recent weeks.
Key players for Atalanta include forward Nadir Krstović, who has 7 goals in 21 matches, and Gianluca Scamacca, with 6 goals in 16 appearances. Napoli will rely on midfielders Frank Anguissa and Piotr Zieliński, as well as forwards Matteo Politano and Giacomo Raspadori.
