It is likely that there will be fierce competition next season in the fight for the Scudetto and it will be different compared to last season but we also have to see it realistically that among the top Serie A teams that are now starting to rise, only Inter Milan has consistent performance and strength in the last few seasons so it is natural that they are more favored than other teams.
Juventus and AC Milan seem so serious in improving but there is no guarantee that the team can be as consistent as Inter Milan last season and even several other teams also seem to be making improvements for the better so it is likely that Serie A next season will be much more competitive with fierce competition in the fight for the Scudetto, I think it is much more interesting and good.
I think the new season they are going to face challenges that are obviously going to be new. In the last season, they were able to run away with the title. But in this season I highly doubt that it is actually going to happen again. I am expecting good competition from other clubs this season. I am not saying there is no possibility for them to actually defend the title successfully. But there is every chance for others to actually compete very closely for the title and actually win the title.
I have the biggest hope from Ac Milan. Juventus have improved their squad but I am still very doubtful about Juventus actually being able to compete closely for that title. Maybe they will be able to finish in the top four. But for the title is going to be a very hard job for Juventus.
Inter Milan will only have difficulty defending the Scudetto if many teams are involved in the competition, last season there were no contestants who were really serious about pressing their dominance in Serie A. Juventus and Milan can probably be relied on in the competition, I'm a little doubtful about Napoli after last season they experienced a rapid decline. Atalanta, Bologna and Roma might be temporary threats at the top of the standings, but it does not rule out the possibility that the Scudetto will be won by a team that is not favored.
Napoli can actually freely rise and become a title challenger, because they do not play in any European competition, but until now Conte has not completed all the transfer plans to build his version of the starting XI. Without meaning to underestimate any team, Inter Milan still looks more dominant than all the other contestants, because they have not experienced many changes in the team. Overall I think the competition for the Scudetto next season will be fiercer than last season, and this is the reason that makes it always interesting for us to follow it.
