Who is the favorite now? Inter Milan and Napoli’s remaining fixtures

With five matchdays remaining in Serie A, Inter Milan and Napoli are tied at the top of the standings with 71 points. 

Orsolini's last-minute goal against Inter Milan allowed Napoli to catch up with the Nerazzurri, fueling hopes of a possible playoff for the title.

Napoli 

"Serie A is split in two: on one side, the nine clubs with more than 50 points, on the other, the eleven with 40 or fewer. Napoli will face only lower-tier opponents, so they can be considered favorites. 

However, as the hard-fought match against Monza showed, Conte's team struggles terribly against tightly packed defenses and, more generally, has much less scoring confidence than Inter Milan.

They’ve scored 52 goals, compared to Inter Milan’s 72. The Azzurri will face teams fighting to avoid relegation—squads of lower quality but with extra motivation. 

In this sense, the away match in Lecce will be intense, perhaps even more challenging than the April 26 home game at the Maradona against Torino. 

We’ll then have to see what position Napoli’s last two opponents are in by the end: Parma, currently fifth from the bottom with a 3-point lead over the danger zone, and Cagliari, who are 5 points clear." 

Napoli's schedule: 

27/04 Napoli–Torino

03/05 Lecce–Napoli

11/05 Napoli–Genoa

18/05 Parma–Napoli

25/05 Napoli–Cagliari

Inter Milan

"Inter Milan faces two back-to-back matches at San Siro. First against Roma, who are on a 17-game unbeaten run and still have a slim chance of qualifying for the next Champions League, and then against Verona, who are currently 7 points above the two teams second from bottom, Empoli and Venezia.

After that, Inzaghi’s side will travel to face Torino (Napoli’s next opponent) and host Lazio, another team fighting for fourth place.

The final game is away at Como, known for their attractive and elegant play, but likely without anything left to play for in the standings by that point. 

The biggest hurdles are the two Rome-based teams, along with the congested fixture list. The many commitments can make a difference but are not a fault—rather, they are a credit to a club that chose not to choose and is fighting to repeat the Treble of 2010."

Inter Milan's schedule:

26/04 Inter Milan–Roma

03/05 Inter Milan–Verona

11/05 Torino–Inter Milan

18/05 Inter Milan–Lazio

25/05 Como–Inter Milan
