There are only two Serie A rounds left to be played and the gap at the top of the table is just one point, so examine Napoli and Inter run-ins, plus why we could get a Scudetto play-off.
The title race took another astonishing twist today, because Inter won 2-0 away to Torino, but Napoli failed to respond, pegged back twice for a 2-2 home draw by Genoa.
It means their lead at the top has been hacked down from three points to just one.
There are two rounds left to play and both have potentially tricky run-ins for the Scudetto.
Napoli will visit a Parma side still fighting to avoid relegation, then end the season by hosting Cagliari, who again are not safe yet.
Inter have a far tougher fixture next weekend, welcoming Lazio to San Siro, then conclude away to Cesc Fabregas’ on-form Como.
In Serie A this season, there is a provision that if two teams finish level at the top of the table, there is a Scudetto play-off.
This would be a one-off match, most likely played on neutral turf at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
There has been only one Scudetto play-off in history, which also involved Inter, when they lost to Bologna in 1964.
