Juventus have had some impressive victories over Inter and Lazio but that's no guarantee they can do the same with Napoli. Napoli will initially have the advantage in this game - they can afford to draw this game, so they will choose tactics as they wish, while Juventus must play to win (and a defeat will bury Juventus completely). I think that I will bet on the victory of Napoli in this game.

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.

Did you lag for a few matches before the break so you don't see them now being good enough to even have won 6 in a row before this International break.
Even with this result they are now third in the table and that signals some real change in my opinion.
The condition of Di Maria and Pogba is still uncertain at the club but there are still other midfielders who are regaining their form and of course the addition of Savic in midfield who is sure to join will add to their strength.

Maybe Juventus have returned to the area where they belong normally. But they still need a long time to bring back their dominant times in the league. Honestly I wouldn't like to see them starting to dominate every season again like in the past. I think like this for any other team as well of course. Because the league is much more enjoyable when we see different teams winning titles.

The competition level in the Serie A has increased a lot for a few years. I strongly believe that the number of people who enjoys watching Serie A games has increased a lot.

Napoli's performance this season has impressed everyone. Not only has Napoli been consistent in Serie A, Napoli's performance in the Champions League has also been excellent. They are playing very well in every match. And for any big team to win against Napoli is challenging now. They are able to score a lot of goals as their midfield is strong in attack. Napoli are probably Serie A's top goal scorer right now.

If Napoli can continue their good performances and consistency in Serie A in January, they will undoubtedly win the title. After a long break, they will face Inter Milan, Sampdoria and Juventus. If they win these three matches, they will go a long way in the fight for the title.

Rather than say they are playing in a strange way, I would rather say they are having a really hard time keeping up with the problems they are currently facing.
The condition of their players could not develop in this regard because after they won last season they immediately had financial problems so this became one of the factors they could not contribute more in this regard.
Zlatan as a senior and protective player still cannot contribute because he still has problems with his legs so this makes them even weaker.

There is no doubt they fight back and this all happen with style right now they are having good streak of match winnings and amazing thing they won all matches with clean sheets which is surely the best part of this all now they are at third spot which is surely a challenge for them and other two teams at the top and after break good thing going to happen as they will be first game against struggling Cremonese which could be good practice game and after this on 14th January they are going to visit leaders Napoli which could be important game for both teams because if Napoli able to handle this then surely no one going to challenge them for the title race otherwise this is going to be another tough challenging season for all top rank teams which are doing good and have good chance for the win of title in this season.

the world cup ends on the 18th of december 2022 and the serie A starts on the 4th of january, knowing that only two teams will go to the final of the world cup on the 18th of december so many players have returned home early and will have a lot time to rest, so this world cup time will not tire the players, on the contrary, it will give the players a lot of time to rest, the biggest problem is injuries, because as the players are trying hard in the world cup games, they are running great risk of injuries, in the games I have watched so far I see a lot of physical contact on the field, the players are trying hard to leave the world cup with a good image but this is also creating injuries in certain players


atalanta is a team that honestly needs to be studied, they were well in the table but they have dropped so much to the point that they are now in position 6 and I believe that they will not finish in one of the 4 places and because of juventus, and inter and roma and lazio are better prepared than atalanta, atalanta can only fight for a place in the europa league, they are a good team that if they made an effort they could win the serie A, but strangely, every season they do the same thing, and something very difficult to do to understand


milan in the champions league has a very strange way of playing, it looks like they don't make an effort, they were very lucky to happen to play against tottenham which is also another inconsistent team, so milan has chances to beat tottenham and move on to another phase, while inter will have a much more difficult mission than winning Porto, which is a strong team. for me it was napoli who had more luck, this time the italian teams are very lucky, I think that the 3 teams or even 2 teams will be able to go to another phase of the european champions league

Atalanta are like the same for two seasons. Actually there is a difference because this time they started to get bad results much earlier. They just have a good start first but suddenly they start performing really poorly. I don't know what the reason behind is for that. They don't have a bad squad quality I reckon. But they just have big problems on consistency.

I believe that this team have a potential to do better than this. They couldn't qualify for any tournament in Europe after their result last season. This time we should be able to see them fighting hard for top 4. They can at least qualify for the Europa League if they work harder.

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.

Injuries will be a threat to players who appeared in the World Cup when they return to the club. And that will have an impact on the club itself because they have to lose their injured player. Napoli sent 5 players called by their country to participate in the World Cup. I think their percentage will be less, and it will reduce their risk of losing a lot of players to injury when the World Cup ends. I also think that for Serie A Napoli will be able to maintain the performance like before this World Cup break.

World Cup have two impact side for team, positive side with their player have on the high physical quality because one months keep in training center with their national team, but have negative impact for team when their player return back later with injured. I think have different appearance with top team standing in Serie A later based on how many main player get injured after World Cup. Lately have one player confirmed with injury is Neymar, just waiting few matches later who become next player get injured and give bad thing for their current team.

Napoli in the top standing right now need controlling their player without any serious injured when returning back to the team, I think if not any player injured nothing difference standing position in Serie A and Napoli can continues consistency performance.

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.

It is really good to see Milan making a big progress in the recent three years. They were really having difficulties in fighting for the title before. They needed some important changes in the team to bring back the old times for them. They have done it and now they are one of the biggest title contenders in the league. They finally got a championship in the league after their last one in the 2010/11 season. Milan is a big example for other big teams that are struggling to stay in the title fight.

However Milan are still unable to play big in the Champions League. Last season was horrible for them. This season things are a little better but we can still see the weaknesses of the team. They lost to Chelsea two times despite advancing to next round. Now they have a really tough draw against Tottenham. To be honest I expect Tottenham to eliminate them as I still don't like Milan's game against big teams in the Champions League.

From the start Napoli already had a very good strategy and team and it was proven that they managed to get first place with a very long point distance, this shows that Napoli's strength is not easy to beat and now is the right moment to look for new strategies and make the players rest for a moment to prepare for the next game in January next year.

After the world cup, there may be differences in appearance for some of the top teams in Serie A, especially for teams whose players are used in world cup matches. Of course they will be very overwhelmed and tired, even potentially injured. But in general Napoli will still try to perform well after the world cup because not many of their players have been involved or called up by the national team in this world cup.

Juventus have returned to the top flight after their series of poor results. Slowly, their position in the Serie A standings is getting better. The match against Napoli in January is very important for the Old Lady to win to close the gap with them. But to target the Scudetto seems to be very difficult to realize. Napoli have put in some amazing performances, but we don't know how they will fare after the World Cup.

Apart from Napoli which is feared to be the main obstacle for Juventus to win the Serie A title, the last few matches of Juventus have ended in win, but that maybe because they have not met a team that has similar ambitions to win the Serie A title.
I will still be waiting for some of Juventus' upcoming important matches to confirm how consistent they are in reclaiming the Serie A title this season.

Fans and club officials don't want to know what problems they are having, what they want is for the team to play at its best regardless of players who can't be used. That's how a coach is tested, because he is required to be able to show his best ability in the midst of a storm of injuries that befall his players. I think Allegri has to be appreciated here because he doesn't care what is being said out there about his future at Juventus. Slowly he started to get up and win games one by one, even though with a game that in my opinion could not be called good, the victory they achieved was able to restore team spirit and self-confidence.
They got 5 games in a row before the break and it boosted their position in the standings by being 3rd. Now one by one the players have returned, although they still need an adaptation process to return to their game but that is a pretty good capital for Juventus in looking at the second leg of Serie A.

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.
