There are only two Serie A rounds left to be played and the gap at the top of the table is just one point, so examine Napoli and Inter run-ins, plus why we could get a Scudetto play-off.
The title race took another astonishing twist today, because Inter won 2-0 away to Torino, but Napoli failed to respond, pegged back twice for a 2-2 home draw by Genoa.
It means their lead at the top has been hacked down from three points to just one.
Serie A title race is incredibly tight
There are two rounds left to play and both have potentially tricky run-ins for the Scudetto.
Napoli will visit a Parma side still fighting to avoid relegation, then end the season by hosting Cagliari, who again are not safe yet.
Inter have a far tougher fixture next weekend, welcoming Lazio to San Siro, then conclude away to Cesc Fabregas’ on-form Como.
In Serie A this season, there is a provision that if two teams finish level at the top of the table, there is a Scudetto play-off.
This would be a one-off match, most likely played on neutral turf at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
There has been only one Scudetto play-off in history, which also involved Inter, when they lost to Bologna in 1964.
