Atalanta and Napoli have the chance to go third in the Serie A table when they meet at Gewiss Stadium on Saturday evening (1700 GMT).

Atalanta will face Napoli at the Gewiss Stadium on Saturday evening. The defending champions, who have a new manager, will travel to Bergamo in search of their seventh win of the season.

After 12 rounds, Gli Azzurri sit fourth in the Serie A table, while La Dea are in fifth. The two teams are separated by a single point.

Atalanta, managed by Gian Piero Gasperini, is coming off two disappointing results. Before the international break, they lost to Inter and drew with Udinese.

Rudi Garcia, a seasoned manager, was sacked after only 12 rounds of Serie A. After a stunning 0-1 loss to Empoli, he was replaced by Walter Mazzarri, who previously managed Napoli from 2009 to 2013.

The defending champions are currently in fourth place, 10 points behind the leaders Inter Milan. With six wins, three draws, and three losses, they have been a disappointment.

But it’s worth noting that all three of those losses came at home. They’ve struggled to find their feet there, but they remain unbeaten on their travels.

Not only have they won four of six away from home, but they’re beginning to keep clean sheets. They’ve shut out the opposition in three of four.

Napoli completed a double in this fixture last season, winning 2-0 at home and 2-1 away, and Sergiu thinks they’re well-placed to extend their unbeaten run.
