Despite sitting at the top of the Serie A table with a two-point lead, Napoli boss, Maurizio Sarri, still considers Juventus as title favourites. Napoli have had a spotless campaign this far, having won all of their last seven games. Not only they have been effective, they have played the most exciting brand of football as well.

Despite combining the best of both worlds, Sarri has admitted that considering Napoli as strong as Juventus would be a little “presumptuous”.





“Calm down, the current Juve is the strongest of the last seven or eight years,” Sarri told Gazzetta delo Sport, as quoted by Football-Italia .















“For me they remain favourites and it would be presumptuous to compare ourselves with them. I still don’t know what our 100 per cent will be, but I know we’re not the anti-Juve, right now they’re on another level."





The Partenopei boss has kept his feet on the ground and described their winning run a "short stretch" of success as he thinks the defining moments are yet to come.





He added: “Talking about being first after seven games is relative, it’s such a short stretch of the track that you can’t consider it to be indicative. It’s a pleasant feeling, but the moment where the season will be decided is still far away.”





Napoli are set to face AS Roma after the World Cup qualifiers are wrapped up and then move on to the Champions League where they will face Manchester City, pitting two most exciting footballing brains against each other. The opening stretch has been fruitful for Sarri's men, but whether they can break Juventus' dominance in the league is still up for debate.
