Napoli will have to hope that their top striker Victor Osimhen has not not picked up a serious injury on international duty because he is to undergo an injury scan for what looked like a hamstring injury. If Victor Osimhen picks up a serious long term injury that forces him to be absent for Napoli, the will really feel the effect both in the Italian league, in their first game after the international break against and in their champions league game against Union Berlin. Napoli are not in a good position on the table, every win will be important for them.
Of course, without Osimhen Napoli will have difficulty to get winning in every match, because they lost their goal machine. But hopefully he doesn't suffer a serious injury and remains fit to be able to compete in Serie A and in the UCL. In the match against Verona, I think Napoli should still be able to win without Osimhen, but in the match against Union Berlin they need Osimhen services. Because that match will also held in Berlin, and maybe the home team can perform optimally in front of their fans.

For now Napoli is more difficult to predict we can see it in their last 5 matches 2 wins 2 draws and 1 lose obviously this result is different when compared to their performance last season and Osimhen as a mainstay player has not shown his best abilities conversely, Lautaro Martínez from Inter can take over the top score list since the start of the season. Napoli need more struggle to go up to the top standings because currently they are 7 points behind this means they should not let Milan and Inter go further.
Napoli performance under rudi garcia coaching is difficult to predict because they sometimes don't play more aggressively from the start so that when the opponent is already leading the match they find it difficult to turn things around. I remember when napoli were beaten by lazio this season where napoli were very favorites in that match but unfortunately their game was so bad in the first half that lazio was able to take advantage of the gap to score an early goal.

Losing your best form in every match is quite difficult for Napoli this season. The reason is that they were so strong last season but this season they have experienced a decline in performance. I think napoli will have difficulty defending the title this season if they are not able to maintain their best form this season.
