Conte's Napoli Revamp: McTominay & Hojlund Debut

Antonio Conte has implemented a tactical overhaul for Napoli, introducing Scott McTominay, Noa Lang, and Rasmus Hojlund into the lineup. This change comes as Napoli grapples with a significant injury crisis, sidelining key players like Billy Gilmour and Romelu Lukaku. The team's recent form has been inconsistent, prompting Conte to adopt a 3-4-3 formation in an effort to regain their footing and contend for the top spot.

Raffaele Palladino makes his debut as the new Atalanta coach, stepping in after the club's struggles in recent Serie A rounds. He is set to rely on the attacking prowess of Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere. Atalanta's season has been marked by an unusual number of draws, leaving them in 13th place despite only three losses across all competitions.

History offers an intriguing subplot as Atalanta has secured victory in their last two encounters at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, both by a convincing 3-0 scoreline. This historical advantage will be a factor as they face a revamped Napoli side under Conte's new tactical approach.
