If the target is a ticket to the Champions League next season, to be honest, that is quite difficult because not only do they have to catch up with the eight points behind Bologna but they also have to see Bologna perform poorly in the remaining 11 matches.
Bologna is a team that gets a lot of points in home matches while away matches are dominated by draws and with 11 matches still to be played, 4 of them are home matches and the rest are away matches and they have to get 29 points so as not to be overtaken by Roma and other teams below them including Napoli so Napoli's target for the champions league is very difficult, and it would be easier for Napoli to achieve a position in the European league or conference league, and in my opinion, that is much better and will allow them to do more because the competition is not as tight as the champions league and even the opportunity to become the champion is wide open for Napoli, especially if they experience very good development next season.

Napoli need to win a lot to catch up on the existing points, the victory against Juventus cannot yet be a benchmark, even though judging from the statistics of the matches that have taken place, Juventus is more favored but this kind of thing is not uncommon to find in football, at least Napoli needs to win in a row without any goals in their net to catch up on the existing points.

Yes, it certainly won't be that easy because Napoli in the upcoming match will face Inter Milan and without us predicting, everyone knows what the final result will be in the match against Inter Milan and of course Napoli will lose again and on the other hand, Napoli will also meet against Roma in the next few weeks and in that match we will see who deserves to get a champions league ticket next season.
Napoli recent successful victory is not a good sign because Napoli still have many obstacles to face.
Napoli is still dependent on Osimhen and if next season they lose their mainstay player, there is no guarantee that Napoli will be able to appear as strong as usual again.

Changing coaches is always a big obstacle or problem for a club and one of them is Napoli which is currently in an inconsistent situation with erratic performance and even very bad performance, unlike before when Spalletti was still the head coach at Napoli, everything looks very bad beautiful and the future looks very secure.
It goes back to Napoli management error, which was unable to manage its club well, so this was the impact of the change of coach, even to compete with the mediocre club Napoli seemed unable to beat them.
Competing against Inter Milan without me doing any analysis, Napoli will still lose because Inter Milan currently has nothing to stop their strongest performance.

Momentum of Napoli trace to be higher when the new boss is incharge. The situation on ground are for these clubs to grab winning points, mainly for the competitive sides. Winning Juventus gave Napoli and the new coach, the require accolades and the hope of the fans stimulates. Ambitious clubs have the necessary winning points they could gather because they're not here to play, rather to ascertain important winning points. The team's performance hooked up really smooth with the new coach, Francesco Calzona. Napoli are having good stats under this new coach and its probably winning.

Calzona slowly made changes for Napoli and under his coaching Napoli found their rhythm again, but in the race for the Scudetto they were very behind. Although it was not entirely Calzona's fault because he came to Napoli at a time when their performance was less consistent under the previous coach. Sitting seventh in the standings is quite a bad result for Napoli because they were champions last season and now Calzona's task is also quite difficult to restore the players' confidence to rise because the competition is getting tougher for Napoli.

Statistics in the last five matches show that Calzona is much better than the previous coach because they were able to hold Barcelona to a draw in the Champions League and managed to beat Juventus in Serie A. This is just the beginning and can Calzona appear consistent in managing the team? If he succeeds in doing that then Napoli will slowly climb to a better position in the standings even though catching Inter Milan is impossible.

The top four, where are the teams you're looking at this season? Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan and AS Roma and any other club will definitely decline and hold back when the time finally reach. We know how these random mediocre teams operates and it will be very unfair to watch the outstanding performance of these teams and some of them end up on the poor position. Napoli new coach, Francesco Calzona trying to hook up with these elite teams and we know how competitive the Serie A have been for him since his arrival in Diego Maradona stadium.

Napoli are the reigning champion of the Seria A after lifting the scudetto last season, it was very promising for them but this season comes with frustration and unreliable form.  Perhaps they will do better and having an excellent outcome which shouldn't be a challenge but on the contrary, they keep struggling this season. Napoli won Juventus in their previous meetings, giving hope for the club to enter key phases this season. There's absolutely no better phase than watching how these all competing levels between these clubs finally played out.

It's normal to feel upset when Napoli doesn't play well all the time. But every team has good and bad times during a season. It's not fair to give up on them just because they haven't done well in a few games. Napoli has been winning lately which shows they can do better and compete at a high level. We should support them when they are doing well and when they are not because that is what real fans do. Let's hope Napoli keeps winning and shows everyone they can do it. 

Napoli are not out of business in top four race yet. They are only 8 points less than Bologna and because it is Bologna, Napoli still have good chance. Bologna have good defense but their attacking power is not too good that can cause them to lose point when they fail to score winning goals.

I believe a biggest competitor of Napoli in this race will be Roma which have more experience in top four racing and Roma are on fire with De Rossi too.

Napoli have a hard task to complete but with more than 10 matches till the season ending, 8 points less than Bologna will not be impossible to equalize. Napoli have been showing their recovery and return to good form recent matches. Their main challenge from now is to maintain their own good performances, then their chance to catch top four will become bigger match by match. Bologna and Roma will surely lose points so the main task for Napoli is to play well enough to take advantage of dropped points from competitors.

At least under Calzona, Napoli are still playing very well and of course it's a good situation for them to make some differences which is a good momentum now especially with some results they got in the last few matches.
Against Torino they should be able to get 3 points because after all with the quality of their better players and playing home of course this provides a good enough boost for their ambitions to get 3 points.

Indeed, in terms of current performance they are not too different because seeing from what is happening now Torino is also still in the middle of the standings but of course Napoli must take advantage of the momentum of their last 2 wins as well as by playing at home, which is certain this will make their situation better than before, especially for spirit problems.

Not just the name Victor Oshime, player's like  Politano, Georgian Khivicha Kvaratskhelia, Anguissa are also amongst bames likely to leave Napoli at the end of the season eventually when the new transfer window kicks off completely. If they're consistent then, they can definitely get something better from the top five clubs. Qualifications for the Champions League Competition? That I'm not even rooting em.fir, all I do now is watch with my eyes.

They best be good against Torino, because it'll definitely show up as they travel to face a big club like Barcelona next week. Gladdens me they was able to win the game against Juventus you know.
They'd be facing Torino, Barcelona, Inter Milan and also Atalanta, Hopefully something good can come out of these games.

Napoli must step up and take their game more seriously, aiming for full points in all games. These are the times when they must demonstrate to their supporters that they cannot bring them down or embarrass them following a successful season the previous year. I expected them to have improved by now and compete for a league spot with other teams. However, given their consistent underperformance, I lost faith in their ability to do anything reasonable this season. I'm impressed today by their winning streak and how they performed in all of those matches to secure those victories. They'll be playing against a weak team in the Serie A, so I don't believe this match will be hard for them to win as they’ve won others recently in the competition.

I wouldn't be too sure about the assumption that Napoli is out of business for the top four. Roma has been playing great lately and it looks like the change of the coach had some effect. Actually, I admit that I thought it might have a short-term effect and then Roma would start losing games again that they should actually win. But no, apart from the game they lost against Inter Milan, which is totally understandable, they have been performing way better than anyone expected after they sacked not any coach, but Mourinho himself.

Now for Napoli the job is a good bit harder I admit. But I think that they are still in distance to strike back and to make up for some points if they can win some games in a row. So nothing is over yet for them and by the way they are still in the Champions League. The first game didn't look all too promising, but let's see.

Juventus have been out of the race since they were beaten and their performance continues to worsen until now, there was no way for Juventus to catch up and what they need to do is maintain their position in the top 4. because Serie A only has 11 matches left meaning there can be no mistakes in each match. because Serie A only has 11 matches left, meaning there can be no mistakes in each match.

Currently we can see which teams will take their place in the champions league zone, for Bologna I don't think they are safe yet because AS Roma could take over it only takes a few points to move up to the top 4 with a note that AS Roma must be consistent in winning or not lose.

Everyone expected Juventus to fight for the title, but after a good period the moment came when Juventus could not keep up with Inter's pace and failed. Napoli also failed. Just like Milan. It's quite funny, but last season in the top 4 everyone was a loser except Napoli, and this season everyone except Inter. For some reason, there is no equal rivalry and intrigue, at least until the last rounds, the champion becomes known much earlier.

And it seems that Roma will also experience greater difficulties in taking over Bologna's position. Because, in the remaining matches until the end, Roma had several tougher matches. However, the one of keys will be in the match between Roma and Bologna on April. This is also one of the matches that is quite stressful and deciding. Luckily, Roma is currently in quite an on fire condition, so hopefully, that they can be even stronger in every match, whether against small, medium or top clubs. Because they still have to face Napoli and Juventus as well as teams like Atalanta and Lazio too.

There is no denying that Napoli's recent performance has improved a lot, in fact they were able to beat Juventus. So, this does prove that there has been quite a significant improvement for Napoli under Calzona. However, this is enough time for them to get up and enter the top 4. Because there are quite a lot of points and they have to keep fighting. It would be very dramatic and satisfying if they could advance to 4th place. However, we'll see how they achieve. Currently, they are focusing on facing their opponents who are quite strong in the UCL.

For Roma I think they can do it but for Napoli they won't be able to do it until the end of the season. Napoli still have to improve their overall performance and even though they have just won against Juventus, this cannot be a strong guarantee for them to continue to progress with consistent wins.

Only two straight wins is not enough for me to have full confidence in Napoli that they will be able to win all their rest matches. I saw the strength in the club within these two weeks, but how can we be sure that it will be consistent. Napoli will noy be able to qualify got the champions league because Roma is also trying their best to see how possible it will be for them to secure the fourth position. The declined in form of Napoli really affected them a lot, and it is too late before they realized themselves and picked form.

Napoli will settle for Europa next season, and they can do better by next season to secure a place in the champions league. I don't know what the fate of Napoli by next season will be, when Osinmeh leaves the club.

It will be a very tight and important schedule for the defending champions. But the most important match is the game against Barcelona in Spain. They will need to get a win to move to the quarter-finals which will be a great achievement for coach Francesco Calzona. Before then they would have to slog it out with tenth-placed Torino in Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Friday. Winning that game will give Gli Azzurri the needed motivation to win the match against Barca. The Spanish side might not be having a good time in the league, but they have a lot of experience in the UCL and can get a positive result at home.

The fight for the top four position has become very tight because some teams have improved after the sack of coaches. Roma and Napoli fall in this category, since after the sack of Jose Mourinho and Walter Mazzarri. Francesco Calzona and Daniele De Rossi are gradually changing the fortunes of these teams. I just hope they maintain this good performance.

The kind of improvement I'm seeing on Napoli performance is very awesome with a short while they have really improve so well that they have been able to reach the seventh position of the table, although it was unfortunate for them at the beginning of this season because they were very weak but they have managed to peak form and they have a higher points than Torino but the challenge they will have is that irrespective of Torino being on a lower position than them but they can sometimes be very competitive because Napoli has meet them once and the match ended on the favour of Torino so let's see if Napoli will be able to right there wrong this time.

After two victories, you are too optimistic about Napoli and their form. There are 8 points between them and Bologna, and there are also Atalanta and Roma, who are also ready to fight for the top 4 and who probably have more chances to do this. I'm not sure that Napoli will be able to win all the remaining games, they very often lose points, and for them to rise to the top 4, something incredible must happen.
