The Little Donkeys are also unbeaten in their last nine matches at home in Serie A having recorded two draws and seven wins at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
 
“It was a difficult match, everyone said they were three huge points if we managed to win, but what we want to achieve means every three points are important,” Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti said.
 
“We just have to keep being ourselves and hopefully misplace fewer passes than we did today, but with the right attitude of trying to score and win the game. 
 
“I think Atalanta played a fantastic match, they are like Liverpool and Manchester City in standing out in the football world, because they present very clear ideas and approaches, so we all watch them."

Meanwhile, Empoli emerged as 1-0 winners against US Sassuolo at home in their last league match which was played on November 5.
 
The win ended the Blues' two-match winless run in this competition having recorded two consecutive defeats before facing Sassuolo.
 
However, Empoli are winless in their last two matches on the road in Serie A having registered one defeat and one draw as the visitors.
 
The last meeting between Napoli and Empoli in a league match was on 24 April 2022.
 
Empoli claimed a surprise 3-2 win over Napoli in a game that was played at the Stadio comunale Carlo Castellani which is a multi-purpose stadium.
