Serie A title race: How Inter Milan & Napoli can win Scudetto on friday?

Which of the two teams will win the title will be decided in the last game of the season.

With a one-off kick-off scheduled for Friday, the Serie A title race has reached the final day of the season. Both Napoli and the defending champions Inter Milan are hoping to add another Scudetto to their trophy cases.

Inter have a far stronger goal differential than Napoli, who enter the match second in the standings, being one point behind. Both teams will play mid-table opponents in their season-ending games at the same time.

In the last match before meeting Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final, the Nerrazurri take on 10th-place Como, while Antonio Conte’s team hosts 14th-place Cagliari.

With a number of former Premier League players on his side, such as Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour, and Romelu Lukaku, who has scored 13 Serie A goals and provided ten assists this season, Conte, who is in his first season with Napoli, has had an exemplary league campaign. He will hope to conclude the season with the Scudetto.

If they win on Friday, they can secure the title. But if they lose, they will have to anxiously await the news of Inter’s outcome.

Serie A title-deciding day

On Friday, May 23, at 7:45 p.m. GMT, Saturday, 12:15 a.m. IST, Napoli and Inter are scheduled to play their season-ending games at the same time with their respective opponents.

While Inter travel to Como, a club managed by Cesc Fabregas, Conte’s side will host Cagliari at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Even though Gli Azzurri lead by one point going into the last day, Inter’s goal differential (+42), which is significantly more than Napoli’s (+30), increases their chances of making a comeback.

Gli Azzurri will win the Scudetto if they triumph. Inter would need to win to secure the title if Napoli drew. If Inter wins or draws and the Nerazzurri win on goal differential, they could win the title if Napoli loses.
