Juventus isn't the Juventus I knew back many years ago, even when Ronaldo moved to the club I expected to see a massive change and boost in performance but it seemed like nothing changed and they remained the same. This season feels like Napoli's season and they are already bossing it in the league so far with an unbeaten run until Christmas, they have been outstanding and look very focused and determined. Could this be the end of Juventus' dominance or is it just a break for Juventus before they get back to dominating again every season.

Only player injuries can put Napoli in a difficult position, Spalletti really hopes that all his players called up to the national team do not experience any problems. Napoli have managed to make other teams jealous with their performances, their pace is very fast. When the other team was refueling, Napoli even stepped on the gas as if the fuel never ran out.

The break has provided many benefits for Juventus, during the break Juventus hopes that some of its pillar players can recover when the World Cup is over. Juventus which is in the best condition due to winning the last six matches, can rest for a while while doing light training with players who are not included in the national team squad.
Allegri who was rumored to be sacked soon, has won the trust of Juventus officials again, he will be given a minimum of time after the season is over. If Allegri is able to help Juventus finish in the champions league zone, he still deserves to be given a chance for next year.

Juventus have a small enough chance to win the title this season. In fact, in my opinion, Juventus will be fasting for titles this season if they are not consistent in the Europa League or Serie A. Juventus dominance has been broken by several other teams in the last two seasons, even for this season, I think Juventus will target to focus on staying in 4th place big. Napoli are doing perfectly this season, they are capable of making surprises and they are able to make the atmosphere of competition in Serie A even more interesting. Several non-seeded teams have performed better this season such as Atalanta, Lazio and Roma but these three teams are still having a hard time showing their spurs when facing big teams. Napoli deserve to be the leading team winning the Scudetto this season.

by force dear Victor Osimhen takes the lead followed by Arnautovic.
In the meantime, Juventus recovers from the shock and finished in third place (not bad). He takes a bit of an advantage in view of the world championship.

In 2012, 2013 and 2014 we saw domination of Juventus. And they consistently won the title by dominating every desert. But after that they lost the truck. They are no longer able to win titles. After Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus we thought we would see Juventus dominate again. And they will do well in Champions League too. But this is not the case. Qualifying for the Champions League has been difficult for Juventus in the last few seasons. Juventus had a chance to win the title if they had played well from the start of this season.
But Napoli have been in great form this season. They are still unbeaten this season. They probably only drew two matches. If no accident happens, Napoli will win the Serie A title this season.

I think it is more decisive to not lose the games that are not against Napoli because that is when Napoli takes advantage of others having a weak day. They just don't have very many weak days this season but if they do, the closest competitors must score the full three points. I do believe that Napoli will have a weaker day here or there and then it comes down to whether or not Milan or Juventus do their homework.

This season has been phenomena so far and of course, if they keep like that you can't stop them anyway. The only thing you can do is to constantly keep up the pressure and win all the other games until there is the showdown against them.

Especially Juventus who always dominate and if I'm not mistaken they won a Scudetto hat-trick in 2012, 2013, and 2014, but it continued to win the Scudetto until 2019, before Inter Milan won the Scudetto the following year. But since 2 years ago Juventus has always had problems and is often in poor form, moreover many players have been injured, it is very confusing for Allegri. But now Napoli, which has started to rise this season, has never tasted defeat. I hope that the Serie A competition can be as exciting as it is today, so it doesn't have to be dominated by just one club like in previous years.

The most difficult thing for a team in Serie A is to catch points from Napoli for this season because it can be seen in the current standings the point distance from Napoli with Ac Milan is 8 points adrift and a difficult distance for Ac Milan to chase because the Napoli squad is really focused and  so consistent this season that their chances of losing are very slim. It's different from Ac Milan, which has not been very consistent this season where they have lost several times in vain, which means that Ac Milan will have little chance of catching up on points from Napoli. But it's not impossible because things can change quickly once the league restarts after the world cup is over.
so the main point is now Napoli, AC milan and juventus have a chance to win the title this season but the 70% chance belongs to Napoli.

If I like Juventus then I will follow this team whether they are champions or their results are not as good as in previous years. From the moment when Juventus stopped dominating in Serie A, the championship became more interesting, because if you compare it with the Bundesliga where Bayern are almost always champions, then it’s not interesting to follow such a championship, the only intrigue is how many points Bayern are ahead of their closest follower.

For Juventus it will be a beneficial break (if the Juventus players don't get injured in the World Cup) but for Napoli it could be a beneficial pause as the players rest or simply go through a period of decline in functional readiness during the World Cup. And Napoli will continue to churn out victories after the break. Such a symmetrical gain will be in favor of Napoli as the only hope of all competitors is that Napoli will have a recession.

These two teams have dominated Serie A for a long time with Inter and sometimes Roma, so it's only natural that what Napoli has been able to achieve to this day surprises many Serie A lovers, because they will usually look at Milan or Juventus.
This change is good because it will make the league interesting, the results will be difficult to predict so football lovers will always wait for the results in every season with curiosity

Napoli have a great chance to win the Scudetto this season. So far, the appearance of Luciano Spalletti's men has been able to appear strong both in Serie A and in the Champions League. However, the Partenopei must be able to maintain consistency in the second half of the season, because they will enter a super busy season starting early next year. In addition, Napoli must also be aware of the rise of several teams such as Juventus, because they have now started to rise and are ready to hinder Napoli's pace for the rest of the season.

Currently Napoli is being talked about by many people because of its extraordinary performance and also has good players and is being targeted by big clubs, especially English clubs.
Like Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, it is reported that the big clubs are getting a sniff, and Napoli are expected to offer new and better contracts to lock in good players and offer them new contracts to keep them afloat in the upcoming transfer window.

Yes indeed, I also don't think that Napoli will be the best so far this season. Because with Napoli being able to stay at the top of the standings until half of the season, and being the only team that is unbeaten in Serie A, of course Napoli is the best team at this moment.
Because if we consider the previous few seasons, Napoli is indeed a team that has the chance to be able to compete in the title race. But from season to season Napoli's performance has not been consistent throughout the season, in the previous several seasons.

This could also be a concern for Napoli for the rest of the season, as teams like Milan, Juventus and Inter are slowly getting back into their best form.
If Napoli returns to a declining performance after the break, then of course the teams below Napoli still have a chance to catch Napoli at the top of the standings. Although indeed, Napoli at this moment have enough capital because they have a fairly safe points gap, but this is still not a complete guarantee.

Therefore, the Serie A competition in the title race after the season break will become more interesting.
Because we are also curious whether Napoli will repeat the same mistakes as in previous seasons or indeed, this season will be a good season for Napoli.
Interesting to look forward to!

yes I agree with you Napoli's good performance this season may change after this January transfer window, when many big clubs want their players with the lure of big salaries,
and it could ruin the good performance that has been created so far at Napoli, but if that doesn't happen and the loyalty of the players until the end of the season to stay at Napoli There is a possibility that a record will be created and Napoli can win the league this season

Not that easy bro. I already made a math analysis similar with yours, last week here my posts. Because, team performance week by week will be different, so if you say 4-5 milan and napoli getting lose, how juventus can guarantee will never lose to race for this gap? Draw and lose will also can be happens to Juventus, right. And still, we will see juventus will find it difficult to manage current gap with Napoli, as you say it can be never change everything in the table.

Everyone know Napoli performance after mid season break, they are mostly getting struggle. This is the real chance for Milan or even Juventus it it happens once again. As far as Milan and Juventus can be perform better while Naples getting worst, maybe we can see the competition more interesting between top 3. For me, if Milan can't get the title this season, hopefully Napoli can manage their performance till end of season.  I'm bored to see juventus dominated the title 

So true! Let's hope this big gap in football won't affect Napoli because their first game after this huge break, will be against Inter , a team who is desperately looking for points. If Napoli will manage to make at least a draw with them , then I'm sure they will have the same confidence that they can win Serie A this year. Lazio, in some games , they forgetting how to play football and from a fan of them , it's really sad to see them losing 3-0 against Juve .

Where was the previous position? Yesterday's match with Lazio was Juventus' last game before the world cup and the next one is early next year. So now Juventus will settle in third place in the Serie A standings because after this there will be no more matches except when it is finished from the world cup. I think all teams will improve their way of playing after the World Cup and there will always be exciting matches this season in Serie A.

Juventus' attacking and defensive players are performing well. They now need a strong midfield if Juventus are to increase their attacking momentum. Napoli scored 37 goals in 15 matches in Serie A, while Juventus only scored 24. It is easy to understand that Juventus have several weaknesses in the attack. This weakness can be overcome with good support from the midfield. I would say Juventus need an experienced attacking midfielder in the winter transfer window. Juventus management will now have to spend some money if they want to maintain this consistency of performance and strengthen the squad.

Well, to be honest, between all the teams in Serie A I could never predict to see Napoli at the top of the ranking table while there are teams like Juventus and Ac Milan. Serie A is a League where you can see less space between the team's performance and if I wanted to bet on a team there I would have limited options for each season.
For example as far as we can see Napoli got 41 points so far and they are the only team they never had a loss this season.
