Juventus started the season very badly. Their performance was very poor. But now they are able to solve their problems. I wouldn't say their performance is too strong. But their performance is now very stable. They are consistently playing well. And in the last few matches they have been able to continue their winning streak. But it is difficult to say that Juventus will win the title. Because Napoli has been in great form this season. Napoli is still 10 points ahead of Juventus. So Napoli is still the favorite for the title.

Juventus have played really well in the last few weeks and managed to beat some pretty strong teams in the league. It is very difficult for another team to become the champion in a season where Napoli played so well, but it is necessary to congratulate Juventus, who won so many games in the last weeks despite not starting the league very well.
We have a very long break ahead and the players can rest during this time. I hope the team doesn't lose their old performance

There are still a lot of measures to be taken before the end of the season since only 15 matches have been played.

As a result, I do not think they should take anything for granted. It is important for them to focus on performing well even though they have a comfortable lead in the game. In fact, I would like to actually be surprised if they do anything similar to what they did in the last season. As of this point, I am not confident to say that they are close to winning the title. At the moment, however, they seem to be heading in the right direction. It's just a matter of playing consistently and bringing successful results to the table.

One thing that must be credited to Allegri is that he kept the confidence to continue coaching despite the dire situation at the time, because there was a lot of pressure from several boards and also a lot of fans about wanting him to replace Allegri with another coach immediately. But according to rumors Juventus are indeed not willing to pay a high price for the sacking of Allegri, so maybe Juventus also can't do much other than continue to give full trust which is still given to Allegri.
Because after all, basically Juventus already has a good squad, it's just that many of Juventus' key players have suffered injuries and maybe, this is also one of the things that keeps Allegri's confidence good to continue coaching Juventus.

With an increase in Juventus' performance like this, at least Napoli, who might previously feel comfortable at the top of the standings, will be wary of him again, because any mistakes made will have a big impact on his position at the top of the standings.
Because being a strong team at the top of the standings is not easy, they have to be consistent to achieve good results in every match, but I don't think Napoli will be easy to drop points this season and this competition is becoming more interesting even though they still have a gap in points which is quite wide.

Yes, we understand the condition of Juventus at that time, but it is sometimes unacceptable for most fans and staff who just want to win every matches. When I read the news about the deadline for Allegri, I thought that Juventus might make another mistake if they really sacked Allegri this season. I remember what AC Milan did, when they were down with Allegri, they sacked him and the downturn was not because Allegri couldn't train well, but Milan hard to buying good players who matched with Allegri strategy. IMO

Will they tho ? So far at Wolrd Cup , I don't see any Juventus player having a great run...or at least score. I've also saw that Vlahovic played last night against Brasil and only had the ball on his foot twice...so I'm super skeptical about Juventus and what they can achieve further in Seria A after World Cup break.

I'm still favoring Napoli to win it all and they know for sure that this is one in a lifetime moments , to be this close to take Seria A with Napoli.

Serie A is currently led by Napoli. But I really do not feel that this is going to be permanent. I just simply cannot think that a team that has made mistakes in the past and eventually did not finish in a position which they should have, is likely to play really well throughout the whole season. I think they are almost certain to make mistakes and the other teams will punish them for it.

The performance of AC Milan, the defending champion seems to be questionable. Currently, they are in second place. But they are also eight points behind. They have not been very consistent as well. Inter aren't the favorite to win the league title. They are 11 points behind. They will have to improve significantly after the World Cup if they want to have a chance at the league title.

The competition is certainly going to be very tough towards the end of the season. But I think Napoli has the best advantage right now.

Napoli are going to play three big games before their Champions League game against Frankfurt. They have five league games before this one and three of them are against Inter, Juventus and Roma. As usual, Napoli's target will be to win all of these games. If they leave these games with 9 points they will most probably be more ahead of their closest competitor in the league table also. Because Milan also have big games waiting for them in the meantime and I'm not confident if they can be as successful as Napoli.

Because there is a visible difference in Milan's performance compared to last season. They need to do an extra job this season while there is an extraordinary performance by Napoli now. They need to drop the loss of points in comfortable games to minimum for example. Their losing 5 points on last five weeks caused the gap with Napoli to get quite big in the first place.

Juventus have begun to recover from the chronic illness he has suffered since the start of the season, winning six consecutive matches indicates that Juventus have been able to provide competition in the top four positions. Talking about the Scudetto this season, it's still very far from Juventus. Napoli who managed to put in a very impressive performance has made a big gap in the standings. Napoli have collected 41 points, while Milan have managed to get 33 points and Juventus, who are in third place, have only got 31 points. The difference in points so far makes Juventus chances of winning the Scudetto very small.

Neither Milan nor Juventus have the tactical strategy to fight for the league this season. It is obvious that Napoli has the edge over every other team. This is due to the crop of players they have and the ones that have been in the team. In addition, with Victor Osimhen in the team, staying in form and with the rest of the players, I think Napoli is going win the cup. They have a good team, a good midfield, a good defense and a good attack which consist of Simeoni, Zelensky and others. I have no doubt whatso ever in their ability.

they simply had a very small squad of players due to injuries
not having carried out a shopping campaign (they have no money) they had to manage the emergency without panicking, and you have to be honest, Max Allegri was very good at managing this thorny situation, without complaining (as Antonio Conte would have done) but working tirelessly

Napoli currently has a big lead in the standings. but I still have confidence that Milan can still catch up on points in the remaining half of the season. Milan and Juventus could become a threat to Napoli if they don't play it safe to keep getting winning points. because now some strong ticks have started to improve unlike when the start of the season seemed to be playing badly.

Juventus is performing well. They have good players in their team, who play a lot of tactical games. However, some players in their team were probably injured, which had some impact on the team. But when they return to the team, the team will become stronger.

Napoli went into the season break with a good performance. They play great football. The way the Napoli team is performing, they will be a good team in the future. After the World Cup, I hope the Napoli team will perform well.

It is possible that Juventus has fully recovered because six consecutive wins is an impressive peak for a team that has been struggling since the beginning of the season; however, title contentment will be a very difficult task for them because I have given it all to Napoli due to their very impressive performance so far in the League, which I am confident will continue because they have the squad to compete for the title. All Juventus has to aim for is a return to the Champions League next season.

There is no certainty about this, a lot of players are available in the summer transfer market, because football will always bring surprises when it comes to player transfers, even though there are not many great players available.
What is worrying is when Napoli are not able to secure full points against AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan in the follow-up matches going forward, but I don't think there is certainty about the results of these matches either, because if you look at Napoli's dominance before the World Cup break, it is still quite consistent.

Napoli's biggest problem is that they don't have squad depth for substitute players, when several players are injured, automatic rotation will find it difficult to develop and it doesn't go according to the game scheme expected by Spalletti, so they have to buy several players in the transfer market next summer, in order to continue to maintain the chance to embrace the scudetto this season, because the difference of eight points is not too far for Napoli's competitors to chase.

Juventus consistency performance with 6 consecutive wins and returning to 3rd position is currently becoming interesting in the race for the Scudetto title this season. Until week 15th Juventus is only 10 points behind Napoli who are in first place, I think with injured factor and several main player have returning back from injured make Juventus more stronger than started season begin.

But the winning record achievement by Juventus have stop awhile with international and postponed match until one match later, I don't think with one months postponed match Juventus get back chemistry performance after 6 winning in a row because have build at the early and several player not participants at World Cup have different physical I think.

Precisely if Napoli underestimate other teams just because they have a high point difference in the standings will bring them closer to failure this season. Napoli are still worried about missing their best chance of the season if they underestimate many other teams in the second half of the season, so there is no reason for the coach to let their point gap get even closer due to bad results.

I believe that Napoli can maintain its good trend in the second half of the season, but I also believe that the competition between the teams will be even tougher because every point is very important. Milan, Juventus and all of other teams is a threat for Napoli, so there is no reason to underestimate any team in the league.

After winning 9 titles in a streak from 2011 - 2012 season to 2019 - 2020 season, their drop is reasonable. Do you think they can win Scudetto in another 9 seasons in another streak?

A realistic target for Juventus in next two seasons is a position in top four to play in Champions League. It is important to help their club maintains a good finance income and their attractiveness to star players. After spending two more seasons to buy some more star players and improve their internal quality, they can begin to think of winning Serie A again and even can go further in Champions League.

It is about Europa League but let me use Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal as examples. They are all big clubs and have dominating times after that they have been in rebuilding period that takes a few years or even one decade. Juventus can not expect to get much faster rebuilding process.

Juve dropped in performance, that's a sure thing, what made it worse is the number of injured players they have especially their best players.
in January, there is Napoli but also Atalanta games that are challenging and requires the full team to be present, ready and concentrated.
In February they have Europa League games so better to try to win it since one of the best teams there, Barcelona and ManU, will be kicked making things a bit easier.
