Napoli are going to grind their way to a Scudetto. Classic Conte.

Don't have one.

We'll see how they will look around new year and january. I think they are benefitting a lot from playing one game a week in these last few months when everyone else is just drowned in games.

In terms of winning the title, they still lack objective quality not even conte can overcome, and that will become apparent as the season enters its second part imo.

Napoli basically has the same squad that won Scudetto with big margin two years ago. With a much better coach.

Not exactly. No Kim, no Osimhen and no Zielinski.
Boungiorno has been excellent and no inferior to Kim recently. No matter what the fans think, Napoli literally disposed Osimhen for Lukaku because he is more suitable for Conte's plan. Not because they are forced to sell.

Zielinski I agree but that's the only missing piece. David Neres is an upgrade too.

This is not true, it's a known fact that Osimhen wasn't gonna be in the roster since the relationship went sour. Even Conte acknowledged that in the beginning of the season

"I will not talk about the players who are not part of the Napoli squad. You all know full well the Osimhen situation was already there when I arrived and will be dealt with exclusively by the club. I did not get into the situation"

Juventus conceded only 1 goal this year in Serie A. Crazy. Although their attacking has suffered as a consequence.

Roma seemed very bad vs us. Juric and the team seem under a lot of pressure. Sacking De Rossi so early maybe wasn't a good idea.

Just one game a week is a massive advantage to Napoli. To me we need to build a bit of a lead vs Napoli in the first part of the season since I don't see Napoli slipping too much in the second one. At least not compared to us and other rivals who have played extra for 8 CL games + 1-2 Super Coppa games (with travels in all these added) by the end of January. Then add at least 2 CL games for each, possibly 4.
