The golden opportunity that has been held by Napoli this season will not be let go, because a good opportunity will never come twice at different times. So for this season it is clear that Napoli will really try not to make mistakes like before in order to get the Scudetto this season. There are a lot of teams in Serie A who are trying to catch up on points from Napoli who are currently leading the table and I think Napoli are very much aware of that now and obviously will always avoid making the slightest mistake this season.
Napoli didn't have as much of an advantage last season as they did this time, of course they will try to keep it but it might not be so easy if they will have bad series again. Although I repeat this time the situation is different, and their lead has already become very significant, this may be enough to withstand some kind of recession.
Reflecting on last season, at first Napoli performed very well and competed with AC Milan and Inter Milan to win the Scudetto title. But bad things happened to them where they had to slip several times and caused them to leave early in the competition.
I agree, this season they have a bigger chance compared to last season, they are now 8 points ahead of second place which is now held by AC Milan. That is a very good capital for them to keep their points away from other competing clubs. Not an easy task, of course. They are required to maintain stability in order to remain in a comfortable position in the standings table. Once they make a mistake it will open up opportunities for other clubs to slowly approach them.

Napoli did have a bad experience when last season they had to be knocked out of the competition due to their own mistakes. They must use it as a whip so they don't repeat the same mistake. AC Milan, who are chasing with a distance of 8 points, also still have time as long as they can play by gaining 3 points from each match, while hoping that Napoli will make the same mistake again as last season. But I don't think Napoli will be stupid enough to miss the golden opportunity that is coming their way now.

Napoli will need to keep their squad unchanged if they want to continue their good form and win the title. Napoli are playing well because the understanding between their players is very good now. Also we see good performance from Napoli in every match due to their good match strategy. If any of Napoli's key players leave the squad in the next winter transfer window, it will have a negative impact on their overall performance.
They will not want to sell their players in January and changes can come from injuries by World Cup or very high bids from super rich clubs. Most of clubs are not ready to spend too high budget for January transfer market. Star players don't want to change clubs in middle of season too.

Napoli will need Osimhem to return without injury then they can give him one or two matches for resting, to recharge energy and to avoid unnecessary injury after all. They do need contribution from the striker, not only by his goals.

Oshime and some other big name's are known to be untouchable untill next season
I feel they are going to win this year.
Even some games they have stopped him from playing so he doesn't gets Injured at all
There form this season is unmatchable unlike last season

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 certainly benefited greatly from this situation, because three of its rival teams, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan sent quite a number of players to Qatar. Thus, I am quite sure that Napoli will be very difficult to catch due to the fact that their players are fitter, even though there is a possibility that they will slip, they already have a wide enough gap in points from their competitors.
It might be true but remember if napoli has been stating if napoli may try to sell some key players in january. that means if there will be a rotation gonna happen with napoli. Im not sure if that will be giving napoli advantage even tough some big clubs have been sending lots of their players to the world cup but since napoli must adapt with the new formation caused by some key players will be leaving from the club and that will give no advantage to the napoli. I hope that napoli can consider to not sell their key players in january. that may give a big impact to the performance from the club.

After the World Cup we see a lot of players getting injured. So there is no guarantee that all players from Napoli's main squad will be able to join the squad after the World Cup. Some players may not be with the squad. So the Napoli coach must be careful in his squad selection. I think Napoli's performance will be stable even after the World Cup if the coach can keep his match strategy right.

Good news but still can't escape the rumors their players are out now.
I think Napoli should try harder to hold their current players if necessary, indeed make some other policies regarding contracts so that they remain comfortable at Napoli because it would be a pity if they could not stay here, especially with Napoli's current condition. I don't think that the 100 million clause for Osimhen is not something that is difficult also for some of the big clubs who are interested in him.

Actually changing a few if indeed adding players is not too much of a problem but when changing replacing most of the core players is definitely very difficult.
Early last season I was quite pessimistic with them because they lost some core players like Dries Mertens and Koulibally but they can with their current squad with the regeneration of young players.
But things like this of course cannot happen several times especially they are now very favorites with their youth squad and Osimhen who is their benchmark in attack.
Even though there are no other players who stand out more, the current squad is still very good for Napoli because they are still very solid in every line.

Even though in the first half of this season Napoli have been quite consistent in Serie A, they are not necessarily able to maintain it until the second half of the season continues, because they are also playing in the Champions League. So that the concentration is not only on Serie A matches, let alone talking when players are injured, it will be very difficult to maintain consistency in playing, especially since Napoli's replacement squad is not balanced with the core players. The problem of player injuries is enough to interfere with their consistency in the continued matches of Serie A and the Champions League.

AC Milan and Juventus have the opportunity to catch Napoli, the difference of eight to nine points is not that far away, while there will still be a lot of matches. This indicates that Napoli must really maximize the remaining matches before ensuring the Scudetto.

After the World Cup all the teams will return to competition. Some teams are likely to be impacted due to the lengthy break in competition and it is possible that some players who played in the World Cup will be tired when they return to the club. In essence, the player's fitness factor is the most important thing that must always be considered by the coach.

We will see that what's gonna happening in the next transfer season. Napoli can change the decision anytime. There will be so much money coming for napoli. That will be so difficult to defend its players from higher salary offered by another team. The offer may not come for the second time. I think that napoli will consider it.

Napoli will need Osimhem to return without injury then they can give him one or two matches for resting, to recharge energy and to avoid unnecessary injury after all. They do need contribution from the striker, not only by his goals.
It seems like that some clubs may offer up to 100 millions for him. Napoli already given signal to sell him january 2023, some clubs have been preparing big money for him.

If Napoli are unbeaten in their last 15 matches, then there is Cremonese who have not tasted a win in 15 matches, something of a difference between a top team and a bottom team. Cremonese are under threat to return to the second tier if they can't improve their performances. It would be a shame if it really happened, because they wasted the opportunity to be able to appear in the Italian top league.
A good update from bottom to top with most chances they will be in Serie B in next season because in current circumstances they have no chance for survival with two other newly promoted sides are doing good job and have better position but Cremonese is surely under biggest threat to go down again with them Verona and Sampdoria are also worst sides which are having nothing to enjoy in this season because performance is not up to standard of big league and things are also not favourable which mean most chances they could be also going down in this season which could be the biggest setback for these clubs.
After the break at the top most chances we will have no change quickly because this all needs good time and better performance for bringing down Napoli which is surely having another good season and with current performance they could be champions.

I don’t think that Napoli is going to face too many problems after the break of the World Cup. At least not immediately. They have a very good lead. And they are not going to lose it fast. And I also agree with @jostorres that the type of performance that Napoli was showing before the break, if they can continue that, it is not going to be very hard for them to win the league title, in my opinion.

Among all of the teams, Inter, Milan, Roma, and others. I think Juventus is going to give the best competition to Napoli. Because Juventus is playing really well, and they have improved their performance a lot. In a very short period of time, they have achieved third place in the table. I think Napoli should be afraid of them.

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.
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?
Why they couldn't? Their players on paper are better than those in the other teams. Allegri is a good coach too.

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.
I agree with the Champions League spots as the first target for Juve regarding their actual situation. They could do more for sure and by the next season they can fight for the scudetto and they should imo.

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.
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.
I wouldn't argue with that but it is hard to compare EPL and La Liga with Serie A. Yet your point is still valid.

In general, not so many Napoli players are in the world cup, so the potential for Napoli to continue to win in the second half of the season is clearly very wide open because Napoli can still formulate their best strategy to win games in the second half of the season. And also Napoli can improve their performances in the Champions League because the Napoli coach knows how the condition of their players is at the moment and also sees the opposing team's consistency starting to decline.
It is an advantage for Napoli if most of the players don't join the world cup, the players can get enough time to take a rest before the next matches begin. By having the rest time, it is expected that Napoli players will have a good condition when they face the next match. However, Napoli must be careful about the opportunity for some players to leave the club in January. The players may not join the world cup, but they may be busy considering some offers from big clubs. Napoli key players may be targetted by top clubs, especially the top players like Victor Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia, or Zielinski.

Big advantage in my opinion. Not only they will be fresh but also they will have more time to prepare and improve whatever they need to improve during this break even if I think they are solid in all areas. I don't think Napoli will cease any of those players until next summer and if they will win Serie A , I think they will sell none of them until they have the UCL run after winning Serie A. However, I'm sure a lot of important and respectable clubs are already watching they "brains" of Napoli from the pitch. Grin

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.
The problem is that they started so badly that even 6 wins in a row doesn't bring them that close to leader Napoli, they still have 10 points difference and Napoli is still winning their games as well so not like they let Juventus come any closer.

So, I believe Juventus may end up being the second team when the league ends, but unless something major changes I feel like Napoli will be the winner this season. They are just way too much ahead of everyone and that type of point difference can still be covered and passed but Napoli is not playing like they would lose that many games in a row until someone passes them, looks like they mean business this year.

Actually, for now, another pretty good thing for Napoli is that Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, who are in good condition, are not there because obviously this can make at least the risk of fatigue and injury minimized for them and of course this is an advantage too, although there are indeed some opportunities for them leave but this is still just a rumour.
But on the other hand, of course, there will be some additional flying hours if players take part in the world cup.
