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 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.
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.

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.
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

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. 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.
Juventus improved performance in the last five games has led them to third place in the standings with 31 points. Juventus are still 10 away from Napoli, it takes a lot of concentration for Juventus to catch up with the point deficit from Napoli. Spalletti is not too worried about the improvement experienced by Juventus because so far Napoli has always been able to give the best game. Juventus will need to prove their quality in the next few matches to give competition to Napoli, Allegri needs to add strength to his squad in order to maintain his performance.
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.

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.
Yes, Napoli will face a tough challenge after the World Cup. Some teams are likely to improve their squad. But the eight-point advantage allowed Spalletti to settle down a bit and they just needed to keep their form as before. Napoli will face tough matches in January, they will face Juventus and Inter Milan. If they can overcome these two teams, Napoli's chances of winning the Scudetto will be even greater.
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.

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?in January, there is Napoli but also Atalanta games that are challenging and requires the full team to be present, ready and concentrated.
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.

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. 
With this achievement, Juventus managed to get back up and get five wins in a row, this shows that Juventus still has the potential to win in the Serie A League.
In January next year Juventus will meet Napoli, and they are a tough opponent for Juventus, so Juventus must prepare various strategies and players who are healthy and have full stamina to try their best to win.

Juventus are on a winning streak recently, in fact Juventus have not lost at all in their more than 5 Serie A matches. This is a big challenge for coach Luciano Spalletti with Napoli's main squad because this is part of the challenge that will hinder Napoli's consistency in winning the Serie A title this season.
Even though the meet between the two clubs will still take place in a few months, Spalletti needs to prepare Napoli to the maximum

I would guess that it wouldn't make sense to fire Allegri because there were no coaches that they could afford. Even if we stopped looking at the ones that are free agent (the other ones would have to be bought out basically) would mean maybe Tuchel was free to be hired, and I am sure between paying Allegri to leave and hiring Tuchel to come, that would have been easily 10 million gone very quickly, and they couldn't afford that.
So, it wasn't really a voluntary decision but more about the financial situation they are in. If they didn't have to fire Allegri and he freely left, they would be gladly getting someone better but that wasn't an option.
For now it may be true, but when you see the reaction of most of the fans a few weeks ago when they saw Juventus' slump, it is clear that this has become a hot topic and is always in the media discussion.So, it wasn't really a voluntary decision but more about the financial situation they are in. If they didn't have to fire Allegri and he freely left, they would be gladly getting someone better but that wasn't an option.
At the moment Juventus are in much better condition and indeed with several players returning from injury makes Allegri breathe a sigh of relief especially since I was one of those who doubted he would stay before.
Allegri did an amazing job if truth be told. He fought really hard to maintain a good record for Juventus even with the injuries recorded in the early rounds of the season. It is sad that out of the five players still on injury four are uncertain of their return. Their exit from the champions league is quit understandable the still have hope in the Europa league and i hope more players recover before the heat of the Europa sets in.
But indeed, in this case, not everyone looks further, and not a few even criticize the way it works, even though in this case we know that Allegri's condition is not very good because he has lost a lot of his core players.I think this could be a moment of awakening again for Allegri. He is now getting back injured players and Juventus' condition has also started to improve indirectly this silences oblique remarks about him.
Even if Allegri gets his injured players back, I don't think their performance will change much. Because this season Allegri has brought in Pogba and Di Maria to strengthen his squad. But we don't know yet if these two players can adapt to the Juventus team. However, Juventus' performance is now quite consistent. Although their squad is not very strong, their performance is quite stable now.

Juventus finished the round of matches before the world cup very well, i feel they had to show something after being eliminated from the champions league, their manager's job was in danger, the players had to react and they did, their impressive performance took them as high as third position, and back in the competition for the title. The only problem is that Napoli have been too good, they still have a 10 point advantage on Juventus, and i do not see what will affect Napoli's form after the world cup, they would remain strong and will surely win the league with a big gap.
It's also true that Juventus had a lot of injuries and that they were practically playing in an emergency. Not to mention that he had no money to spend on buying or changing coaches (to make the fans happy). The calm and patience in keeping Allegri (who is a good coach) finally paid off once the injured players returned.An Inter mentality, which changes coaches as soon as the wind blows a little, leads nowhere.
So, it wasn't really a voluntary decision but more about the financial situation they are in. If they didn't have to fire Allegri and he freely left, they would be gladly getting someone better but that wasn't an option.
These days the conditions are clearly different and Allegri proved himself that with their players returning it was enough to make all the haters silent with the Juventus game.
Whatever is happening at Juventus at the moment is something to be expected. I don't hate Juventus at all, but seeing juventus performance at the beginning of the season I was a little surprised. I remember when the Juventus board threatened Allegri, this was proof that the Juventus officials were also angry with Juve's performances this season. Sometimes pressure from official and fans are needed when coach failed to give their best. 
Juventus are on a winning streak recently, in fact Juventus have not lost at all in their more than 5 Serie A matches. This is a big challenge for coach Luciano Spalletti with Napoli's main squad because this is part of the challenge that will hinder Napoli's consistency in winning the Serie A title this season.

Anything can be said now, but the certainty is when Serie A restarts after the World Cup ends.Even though the meet between the two clubs will still take place in a few months, Spalletti needs to prepare Napoli to the maximum
Juventus are challengers this season as title contenders, but you have to understand that they are not completely good in every game. Player injuries are a major problem, so they have to try hard to get the most out of the available players.
You also shouldn't forget that Inter, Lazio and Atalanta are behind and continue to stick tight, a slight mistake by Juventus will benefit the 3 teams under them because the points gap is not much.
