An eventful weekend in Serie A saw the top of the table remain tightly contested. Inter faced a tougher challenge than anticipated against Monza, but ultimately secured a 3-2 victory after trailing 0-2. Napoli also kept pace, defeating Fiorentina 2-1 and staying just one point behind Inter.

Bookmakers continue to view the Scudetto race as primarily between these two teams. Inter, aiming for their second consecutive title under Inzaghi, are favored with odds of 1.58. Napoli’s odds are slightly higher at 2.70 or 2.75, a decrease from 3 the previous week, indicating increased confidence in their chances.

Atalanta delivered a stunning 4-0 victory against Juventus in Turin, keeping them within three points of the league leaders. Their odds with bet365 have improved from 9.50 to 7, but the gap to Inter and Napoli is still considered significant. Conversely, Juventus, after their defeat, appear to be out of the Scudetto conversation, with bookmakers like William Hill offering odds as high as 67 for their title win.
