The Bianconeri are level on points with the Partenopei with both sides garnering six wins in impressive fashion.
Currently, an international break has the players from the two squads preoccupied although Hamsik has not forgotten that the crucial match against the current Serie A champions lies on the horizon.
Juve host the match on October 20 and are determined to run away from the chasing pack as traditonal rivals such as AC Milan and Roma have had rather poor starts to their campaigns thus far.
Hamsik was happy with his side's win over Udinese on Sunday and stated that the Napoli squad will be fully prepared for their upcoming Serie A match against Juventus.
"Lately, we like picking up victories when we suffer," Hamsik observed following the 2-1 win over Udinese.
"It was important that we won seeing as Juventus got the three points earlier in the day with a win at Siena.
"We are a united squad and that is why we are in first place.
"It's too early to say that we are like Juventus, but we will be fired up to face the Bianconeri when the league returns."
Juve are currently in first place having a better goal difference with only Lazio and Inter Milan, both of whom four points behind, managing to keep pace with the top two clubs.
