Serie A Title Race: Inter, Napoli, and Atalanta’s Pursuit
The 2024-25 Serie A season is shaping up to be a thrilling contest between recent champions Inter and Napoli, with Atalanta potentially joining the fray. Inter, priced at 1.80 odds, are favored to clinch their 21st Scudetto, despite trailing Napoli by three points with a game in hand. The Nerazzurri face the challenge of balancing their domestic campaign with Champions League and Coppa Italia commitments.
Napoli, under Antonio Conte’s guidance, have demonstrated their title credentials with convincing victories over Atalanta and Juventus. Priced at 2.25, the Partenopei are focused solely on the league, aiming for their fourth Serie A title. A triumph would see Conte match Fabio Capello’s record of winning the Scudetto with three different clubs.
Atalanta, despite recent struggles, remain in contention at 9.00 odds. However, overcoming a seven-point deficit presents a significant challenge for Gasperini’s squad.
The race for Champions League qualification is equally intense, with Juventus (2.00), Milan (3.00), and Lazio (4.00) vying for the coveted fourth spot. Juventus, under Thiago Motta, appear to have the edge, while Milan seeks stability under new management. Lazio aims to maintain their strong start to the season.
Fiorentina (6.00) and Roma (25.00) are considered outsiders in the Champions League qualification battle, with the latter facing a monumental task to secure a top-four finish.
