The Partenopei are currently one point ahead of Inter Milan in the standings, heading into their last match at home against Cagliari. A victory or even a draw will secure the Scudetto for Napoli, marking a historic achievement for the club and the region.
The potential triumph would see Napoli become the first team from central-southern Italy to win the league more than three times, after their previous titles in 1986-87, 1989-90, and 2022-23. No team from this part of Italy has ever won the Scudetto more than three times, with Roma also having three titles to their name.
If they lift the trophy, Napoli will also break a record as the first team in a 20-team Serie A to win the league after finishing 10th the previous season, a feat previously achieved by Juventus under Conte in 2011-12, who finished seventh in the previous campaign.
“We have come through a very demanding season, and clearly this could be the last match that closes a season for me in a new place, a new environment, where we obviously feel the responsibility to give Naples, the fans, something beautiful and historic”, Antonio Conte mentioned.
According to the Opta supercomputer, Napoli remains the favorite to win the title, with an 86.2% chance of finishing top. Inter’s chances are significantly lower at 13.8%.
The Partenopei only need to match Inter’s result to secure the championship, but a win would undoubtedly ease nerves and solidify their position at the summit.
