In a few hours, to be precise 18: 00, the Atalanta - Naples summit will be played at the Gewiss Stadium, thirteenth day from Serie A.
The two teams are just five points apart, with Napoli first in the standings and Atalanta second. The Neapolitans will try to bring home a victory that would have the flavor of escape in the standings. The Bergamo players, on the other hand, will do everything to keep second place and gain ground against Napoli.
Let's see what are the official formations and those called up for the two teams.

What to expect and the premises of Atalanta - Napoli
The one between Atalanta and Naples will be one summit clash, which could decide the fate of the championship from now on.
Napoli with a possible victory could make a mental qualitative leap and realize that they are really up to the Scudetto. Atalanta, on the other hand, with a victory could definitively consecrate themselves among the big names in Serie A.
The last 5 meetings between the two teams have seen 3 wins for Atalanta, 1 victory for Napoli and 1 draw. This time, however, the historical series do not matter: each of the two teams will sell the skin dearly.
