After the draws Milan and Roma had this weekend, but also Lazio's loss against Chievo, Atalanta have a great opportunity to make a step forward in the Champions League spots race. The Nerazzurri will be Napoli's hosts while they'll have a chance to get closer to Gattuso's Rossoneri who're currently fourth in Serie A.
Gasperini's real doubt regards Ilicic, who has had a knee problem for a while and had him train apart from the group this week. The fantasista should still make it and start with Duvan Zapata and Papu Gomez upfront. The alternative would be Pasalic who would then play by Gomez's side, in a more offensive position than usual.
In defense, Masiello and Mancini are sure they'll start while Djimsiti and Palomino will fight for the last spot in front of goalie Gollini.
Atalanta's probable lineup:
Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Gollini; Masiello, Djimsiti, Mancini; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Castagne; Gomez; Zapata, Ilicic.
