As this weekend is Easter weekend all of Serie A games are played Saturday afternoon (with the exception of Genoa - Juventus, played on Saturday evening, and the game between Reggina and Italy's Uefa Cup fighters Udinese which will take place on Sunday.
One of the more interesting matches is the North - South derby between Napoli and Atalanta Bergamo at Napoli's legendary San Paolo stadium. The game is always very important for the two supporter groups but is also interesting for other reasons.
First of all because both the teams are playing an eccellent season, with Napoli in eleventh place and Atalanta in tenth place of the classification, and with a victory either of the two sides could make a step forward.
From an austrian point of view there's the interesting fact that Garics, who is now playing for Atalanta, will face his ex-team Napoli. Let's hope that the supporters at San Paolo are no longer angry with him...
The team from Bergamo is hoping that Doni will manage to recover for Saturday but its not at all sure that he will be able to play.
Napoli on the other hand are hoping for the return of their argentinian forward Lavezzi, and in fact he seems to have recovered from his injury on the left leg.
So, all in all, good news for the blue team and their coach Alberto Donadoni who is already speaking of a return of Napoli between the big teams of Serie A in the near future. But first of all they will have to beat Atalanta in order not to lose their position in the classification. Napoli has had three draws in the last three games, Atalanta has had a victory, a draw and a defeat, the first game in Bergamo has been won by Atalanta with 3-1. In Naples, the task will be a lot more difficult for the black-and-blue. Napoli could leave behind Atalanta in the classification with a victory and, in my opinion, they will surely do so.
My tip is therefore
1, home victory for Napoli. The best odd is to be found at
bet365 with
1,91
In my opinion
after the first half the two teams will still be on a
draw, also in this case the best odd is offered by
bet365 with
2,10.
