However, football is unpredictable, even though Inter is leading the group. Napoli are down but still in contention. If they focus on each game, progress gradually, and maybe change tactics, who knows? They may yet be influential this season. I hope to see a great recovery.
Napoli in the previous seasons weren't stable and they were fluctuating heavily. Last season they were playing pretty much good and lifted the scudetto. This season, they returned back to their previous form. I don't think they have a chance to pass Inter with as much as 11 points difference with eventually additional 3 points after Lazio and Inter game today. I would say that passing Ac Milan will be challenging for them, especially after Milan having a nice victory in today's game against Monza by 3 goals to 0.
You are right, Napoli continues to decline if we compare it to last season lower total goals and more conceded this is the impact of the defender move to Bayern Munich so that the defense area seems to have lost half its strength. Apart from that, Osimhen is also less productive this season we don't see him playing like last season where he looked more aggressive, we don't know whether this is due to internal conflict or whether Osimhen hasn't found his best game yet clearly we see something is missing from this player. In fact, next season Napoli has the potential to lose their place in the Champions League since AS Roma and Fiorentina were fighting for tickets there so far these 3 teams still have the same chance with only a difference of 1 - 2 points.
