It should be that being absent from European competition makes it easier for Napoli to create consistency in Serie A, but in reality, Inter Milan, who face a busier schedule, have gradually managed to take over the top of the standings. Of course, if Napoli do not lose many points in their last five matches, they can lock the Scudetto faster this season. I'm not exactly sure if this is the impact of Kvaratskhelia departure.
Next, Napoli will host Fiorentina, a match that I think won't be easy to win either, but theoretically, they are certainly more favored. If Napoli draws again or suffers a defeat, Inter Milan will start to feel comfortable leading the standings. Meanwhile, Atalanta and Juventus will continue to try to apply pressure until the end of the season.
It seems that a team's lack of a tight match schedule cannot be a guarantee for a team to be able to perform better than other teams that have a tighter match schedule. Inter Milan every season they are always able to remain optimal in every match even though they have a busy schedule. So it is not surprising that almost every season Inter Milan always has at least 1 or 2 championship trophies in their hands in the domestic league. Meanwhile for Napoli, the decline in this team's performance actually started with the loss of their best coach and was made worse by the departure of the best players from this team every season. Last season Napoli lost one of their best defenders and their best coach. And now this season they have lost their two best players in attack. So actually being able to see Napoli competing fiercely at the top is already rapid progress for this team. And all of that I think is thanks to the great abilities of a talented coach like Antonio Conte.
