For the first time we dare to bet on the Italian champion!
By Thursday evening, the Serie A standings had been straightened out, but the result was not what we expected. Could the dethronement come?
On Thursday evening, the Fiorentina-Inter match in Florence was made up for the interruption caused by Edoardo Bove, but the result was far from what was on paper. Simone Inzaghi’s side suffered a 3-0 knockout defeat at the Artemio Franchi, which also levelled the standings as all teams have played 23 matches.
The Nerazzurri have not lost by three goals in five years, losing 4-1 in Naples in May 2019 and Bergamo in November 2018.

However, the situation is now not very tempting for the defending champions, who are 3 points away from Napoli. Although Partenopei dropped points with a late goal at the Olimpico on the weekend, Inter failed to draw at the Madonnina and the defeat in Florence meant that Inter could not get any closer to their rivals
Who will win Serie A?
As you can see from the odds of Rabona, it’s a total 50-50 for the title from here on in, but the next few weeks could be hugely important in the final standings.
Inter’s draw will be extremely tough in the near future. First up is Fiorentina, who just beat them at the Artemio Franchi, and then Juventus and Napoli in two weeks’ time. The latter are two games where it is easy to drop points.
And although Napoli also travel to the Eternal City to face Lazio in two weeks’ time, there is one huge advantage Antonio Conte’s side have. After all, he has started the spring with a rough run of fixtures, so he has already beaten the Atalanta, Juventus, Roma treble back and forth, which is three games short of a play-off. Besides, if we look at the rivalries, they also play Inter, Fiorentina and Milan at home, with their toughest 90 minutes coming away to Lazio and Bologna.
Although we said a few weeks ago that there might be some value in Atalanta, Gasperini’s side are out of the cup and have only 7 points in their last 6 league games, leaving the Bergamo side in an increasingly difficult situation, complicated by injuries.
Topsters’ tip for the Italian champions
In our opinion, this is a time when Napoli are the real favourites for the league. We are surprised that the bookmakers are giving both star teams the same odds. The 3-point advantage, the much easier draw, the Napoli-Inter match and the lack of double or even triple load are all factors that make us dare to put our money on Napoli right now.
