Napoli is losing ground. For the first time in a long while, the leader in Serie A has changed

Napoli, under Antonio Conte, made a great start to this season, but in recent matches, the team has noticeably dropped in terms of results. The difficult schedule has taken its toll on the Neapolitans, as over the last 40 days, they’ve played against Inter, Milan, Roma, Atalanta, and twice against Lazio.

Details: In the past week, Napoli lost twice to the Roman Eagles, first in the Coppa Italia and now in Serie A. A goal by Gustav Isaksen gave Lazio their third consecutive away win in Naples. After this match, Napoli lost their top spot in the standings, with Atalanta now leading.

Interestingly, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is in incredible form, having won nine matches in a row, equaling a club record. After 15 rounds, Atalanta has 34 points, two more than Napoli.
