I would give Marchisio and Vidal the edge over Inler and Dzemaili in terms of stamina and athleticism, while Hamsik is clear superior to Pirlo in that regard.

Depends how Napoli play.

Did you see them beat Milan?

They sat deep and just waited for chances to counter. They weren't interested in taking the initiative or trying to have the upper hand in terms of possession/territory, so it's entirely possible that Juve could go and dominate the game.

Of course, Napoli are good enough on the break that they can win games comfortably by playing that way.

Vidal is in a league of his own in terms of athleticism but I have noticed Marchisio seems faster, quicker, stronger and he doesn't completely die at the end of matches.

Yes, i'm afraid Napoli's countersyle is perfectly suited to counter our style of play.

Inler/Dzemaili/Hamsik ..that midfield is more physically fit than ours. also it depends who sets the pace, napoli plays real quick, I doubt Juve can keep up. But if Juve come out like they did against fiorentina then it would be a great..but we would have to be warry of the napoli counter attacks :p
Don't forget Pepe is always there, he does very good job, so with Pepe there we have one extra man in midfield.
