Napoli will to continue its solid start in the Serie A when it takes on Atalanta on Saturday.
Rafa Benitez's club has won its opening two games this season. In its opener against Bologna, the team cruised to a 3-0 lead that did not seem to surprise its coach.
"I'm not surprised at the result today. I saw the team throughout the week and they played very well," said Benitez after that win, according to ESPN. "We don't think about Juventus at this stage, we only think about ourselves. We changed a few players from last season's team but they did just fine and now we can look ahead."
The following week, Napoli pulled off a 4-2 win against Chievo. In their forthcoming game, the team may be without top striker Gonzalo Higuain. The Argentinean reportedly incurred facial fractures after slipping on rocks on the Capri Coast. There is no indication of whether he will play in the upcoming game.
Marek Hamsik leads Napoli with four games in the first two matches.
The team will face an Atalanta side that has one victory and one loss this season. In its opener against Cagliari, the team lost 2-1. In its second game Atalanta defeated Torino 2-0. Guglielmo Stendaro leads the team with two goals this season; Stefano Lucchini has the other Napoli goal of the year.
Prediction: Napoli pulls off a 3-0 win over Atalanta.
