SourceNapoli lost yet another chance to close up the gap from Inter Milan in the title race in the weekend. Recording a goaless draw on Sunday against Venezia threw away the opportunity to go 63 points which has given Inter Milan 3 points advantage in the race while Bologna’s victory over Lazio moves them to 4th place ahead of Juventus in the race for champions league qualification.
Napoli's performance has declined in its last few matches, making them increasingly behind Inter Milan in the fight for the Serie A title this season and if seen as a whole I think Napoli still can't be better than Inter Milan in terms of strength and consistency so it's not surprising if in the end Napoli loses in the competition.
For the competition, several teams are quite fierce to be able to finish in the top 4, even 4 to 5 teams still have the opportunity to finish in the top 4, especially several teams that cannot maintain their consistency, making the competition much fiercer.
Inter Milan are currently at the top of the table with the highest points in the Italian league after playing 29 matches. Napoli is in the second position of the points table with 3 points less than Inter Milan, although Napoli was ahead of Inter Milan by several points even a few days ago. In the Italian league, Inter Milan is playing as many matches as they are aiming to improve their performance. If they can perform like this until the end of the season, I believe they can make more points gap with Napoli and win the Italian league title this season by a big margin.
Inter Milan is performing well in the local league so there are high expectations for them in the local league but how they perform in the quarter finals in the Champions League remains to be seen but I want them to do well.
