How Napoli Can Win the Scudetto & What It Would Take to Lose It
The Serie A season comes down to this: one final matchday, two historic clubs, and a single point separating them at the top. Napoli and Inter Milan will take to the pitch tonight in simultaneous fixtures, with the 2024–25 Scudetto hanging in the balance.
Napoli lead the league by the narrowest of margins and hold their fate in their own hands. But with Inter lurking just one point behind—and boasting a far superior goal difference—everything could change in the span of 90 minutes. One misstep, one missed chance, one late goal could decide the title.
The Title Math: Here’s How It Can All Play Out
Let’s keep it simple. These are the scenarios heading into tonight:
- If Napoli win: They’re champions. No calculations, no drama. Just pure celebration in Naples.
- If Napoli draw: Inter must win their match to leapfrog them on points and take the title.
- If Napoli lose: Inter only need a draw to become champions, thanks to a +42 goal difference compared to Napoli’s +30.
In short: Napoli must match or better Inter’s result. Anything less, and the trophy could be heading back to Milan.
Conte’s Impact and Managerial Vision
It’s hard to overstate what Antonio Conte has accomplished in his debut season in Naples. Backed by a squad that includes former Premier League players like Romelu Lukaku (13 goals, 10 assists), Scott McTominay, and Billy Gilmour, Napoli have played with intensity, discipline, and just enough flair to stay on top when it mattered most.
Conte’s team will host 14th-place Cagliari at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and while they’re favourites on paper, pressure changes everything. A city hungry for its first title since 1990 won’t settle for second.
After a long, hard-fought season, Serie A has given fans the dream finale: two top teams, level on spirit, divided by just a point, and a championship hanging in the balance.
Napoli will aim to end a decades-long wait. Inter want to reclaim their crown. Tonight, we’ll find out which team takes home the trophy—and which one is left wondering what could have been.
