Match Preview:
With injuries and an acute lack of bite beginning to take their toll, Napoli were beaten by Bologna just before international football intervened, as their hosts moved just one point behind them in the Serie A standings.

Having barely laid a glove on the home side at Stadio Dall'Ara, Antonio Conte's men succumbed to a tame 2-0 defeat - already their third away loss in the league this term.

That setback prompted more caustic words to the press from the Partenopei's outspoken coach, who then took an unexpected week off while most of his players were away on national-team duty.

Amid talk of another dramatic Conte exit, his side still sit a mere two points behind table-topping Inter Milan - and they have yet to lose at the Maradona this season.

Atalanta were still Scudetto challengers when the sides last met in January, as Napoli's 3-2 win earned revenge for a heavy home loss two months earlier.

Remarkably, the Bergamo club have won both of their last two games in Naples by the same 3-0 scoreline - but a repeat result on Saturday night seems unlikely.

Struggling to move on from the highly successful Gian Piero Gasperini era, they have produced just two wins from 11 Serie A matches so far, losing 3-0 at home to Sassuolo before the international break.

Almost inevitably, that led to a swift change in the dugout, with ex-Fiorentina boss Raffaele Palladino replacing Ivan Juric, who was sacked for a third time in the space of one year.

Match Prediction: Napoli 1-1 Atalanta BC
Only an excellent home record has kept Napoli in the title picture so far, and the reigning champions will stay undefeated at their headquarters. However, a distinct lack of rhythm has been apparent for most of the season, so Atalanta - unburdened by expectation - could claim a draw on Palladino's debut.
