Rossonerri are dropping points on a weekly basis now. And Napoli are literally on the verge of winning the title
They might be the defending champions, but one thing's for sure - they won't defend that title!
AC Milan are looking woeful after the World Cup break, and the deterioration is nowhere near its end. On Tuesday night, Lazio bulldozed them with a 4-0 home win, making it really comfortable for Napoli to continue their quest for the first Scudetto since 1990.
Halfway through the Serie A season:

It took Lazio barely four minutes to break through as Zaccagni curled it from the left, with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic sweeping it smoothly into the near bottom corner.
The hosts doubled their lead when Pedro's cross ricocheted into the path of Zaccagni for a 2-0 lead.
The reigning champions were deplorable in the offence, while Maurizio Sarri's side kept pushing for the third. It came from the spot, thanks to Luis Alberto, after Kalulu's awfully-timed tackle brought down Pedro to the ground.
Finally, Lazio added a fourth with a quality team goal. Zaccagni got away from Calabria on the left flank again and pulled back for Luis Alberto, whose beautiful disguised pass released Felipe Anderson to score from eight yards.
