I don't know what you guys see in Napoli. Higuain is having a great season, but that's about it, the team is solid, but far from great. They'll have to be lucky to finish in Top3.

:crazy: Have you seen any of their matches?
Insigne probably best player in the entire Serie A this season.
Higuain-Hamsik-Insigne-Gabbiadini-Callejon-Mertens best attack in Italy.
Genius head coach
Good defense, better midfield
They are a lock for top 3.

Lol, good one. And yes, I've seen a couple of their games. Fiorentina and Inter play better.

"a couple of their games"...funny also that they beat the couple of teams you mentioned.

Surprise, surprise despite Juve giving Inter a million points headstart they have already managed to go ahead of them in the table by the end of the first leg.

You are German. It shouldn't surprise you at all since thats whats happening in your league last 3-4 years.

There is one team won the league 25 times, if you add all the championships that second best, third best and fourth best have had, it is not even enough to catch 25 championships that Bayern has.

Juve has a dynasty in Serie A for a year longer than Bayern in Bundesliga but ok.

we've won 9 straight and have looked great. As I've been saying from the start, Napoli remains our biggest competition. Still we are only tied with Inter...haven't passed them on points.

It appears Roma are FINALLY going to get rid of Rudi. Rumor is Spalletti takes over, I think he would do well there with the players they have. They lack any real depth to finish top 3, though.

Only 2 points behind and a whole 2nd leg to go? Juve will finish about 7-9 points ahead comfortably. Even if Napoli fails early in Euro and Juve goes deep in CL, we've got enough depth for SeriA.

Torino got Immobile back. Good move for them, they may as well bring Cerci back too.

I think Torino should go for Giovinco.
