I firmly believe Napoli will not win the scudetto this season regardless of what they have done so far. 15 matches in the first round they managed to look good unbeaten, but that's not a guarantee they can't fail in the second half of the season. Napoli won't be too convincing, but their current form in Serie A has been impressive.
I haven't come to a conclusion about Napoli yet because anything is always possible, but I'm worried about how disappointed the fans will feel after this team loss points and fails in the end.
The Napoli championship looks like a miracle and a pipe dream, but bookmakers now estimate such an outcome of Serie A with a probability of almost 70%. Taking into account the fact that bookmakers are ready to answer for their predictions with money at any time, I assess the chances of Napoli as very high. And judging objectively, Napoli is no worse than the rest of the top 3 clubs. They have comparable budgets.
As they are 8 points ahead of second-placed AC Milan. Napoli is in very good form right now. If they can maintain this form, they will not lose 8 points in the next matches. And if Napoli does not lose points, no other team can close the points gap with Napoli. We still don't know how the teams will perform after the World Cup. But if Napoli doesn't lose form badly, and is able to put in some consistent performances, they are guaranteed to win the title.
Napoli's upcoming matches in Serie A will have a level of quality of opponents that are more difficult than what Milan will face. Juventus and Inter have recently seen their form improve with successive wins in Serie A, one mistake from Napoli will give the way for Milan to further destabilize Napoli's position in the standings.
Can Milan defend their Serie A title with only half a season remaining?

Napoli's upcoming opponents are tough. If Napoli manages to win against this formidable opponent after a long break, I would say there is no team more deserving than Napoli to win the Serie A title this season. Napoli seems to be the favorite for the title so far. But there is still a long journey to win the title. And if they want to win the title, they have to maintain consistency in all the upcoming matches. As the teams are getting a long break. So it is not possible to predict how they will perform after the break.
