Napoli and Inter Milan have certainly invested heavily, so it's no surprise that these two clubs could finish in first and second place at the end of the season. However, given that the season is still early, there could be unexpected surprises.
However, when I watched Inter Milan vs. Udinese, I was disappointed because Inter Milan lost. So, I think there's potential for Napoli to finish first or second. However, as for Inter Milan, I'm now somewhat skeptical about whether they'll be the team that finishes second or first at the end of the season. However, this season, Napoli and Inter Milan must be cautious, as a team considered weak could rebound and ultimately defeat a team considered strong in terms of rankings at the end of the season. I also want to see Roma play in the Champions League, as it would be exciting. However, it's certainly possible for Roma to play in the Champions League as long as they can consistently win and maintain their performance.
It was not just a bad day when Inter lost to Udinese. That 5-0 over Torino made their attack look much more polished than it really is. Take that away and their xG per two games is just 3.4 with 2.1 conceded, which is no elite by the standards of a team that has the largest wage bill in Serie A (€141.5m). They have essentially outperformed by completing early and 3-4-2-1 of Chivu is yet to be a fully developed thought. It is leaning on wingers such as Luis Henrique but the quality is not there yet
Napoli however, fans continue to crown them, yet those 6 points were against Sassuolo and Cagliari, and their entire trap and then go vertical to a dominant 9 plan simply failed when Lukaku is sidelined until January. Conte will be forced to re-engineer the attack around Hojlund and he is not anywhere close to the same profile. So yes, Napoli might still be 1st or 2nd, but it is built on less solid ground than the headline makes it appear. Roma are, in fact, even more system-proof at the moment with Gasperini man-marking and CB overloads already clicking
