From Schedule To Away Slumps – Crucial Factors That Could Determine Intense Scudetto Battle Between Inter Milan & Napoli | OneFootball

Inter Milan and Napoli remain firmly embroiled in one of the most dramatic Scudetto races in recent memory.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, several factors could determine the outcome of this breathless fight.

Simone Inzaghi is hellbent on becoming the first Serie A manager to defend their title in five years.

However, ex-Inter boss Antonio Conte is fighting tooth and nail to bring a second league title to Naples in three years.

Indeed, only three points separate the leading duo ahead of an intense season finale.

Inter’s congested fixture schedule could be a sticking point, especially if Inzaghi’s charges overcome Bayern Munich in Europe.

Furthermore, they’re eyeing a third Coppa Italia final appearance in four seasons under Inzaghi.

On the bright side, most of Inter’s ‘high-profile’ league games will come at the San Siro.

As for Napoli, they will lock horns with top-four hopefuls Bologna next weekend.

Ominously for the Partenopei, the match will take place at Renato Dall’Ara amid their rough patch on the road.

Indeed, Conte’s men haven’t won an away league game since January, going winless on their last four trips.
