Napoli have three matches with two of them are in Naples at their home stadium, one match is home away and all three opponents are weaker than opponents of Inter Milan in their last matches. Napoli with current three-point advantage and easier fixture, only have to focus on themselves and their matches. Playing well match by match, just only three more matches, and get perfect points, then Scudetto will belong to them.

Napoli don't have to mind about Inter Milan performances and results as if they win all 3 remaining matches, their mission in Serie A 2024 - 2025 season will be finished happily with Scudetto. If Napoli plays at their quality, they will get full 9 points and hence take Scudetto definitely.
Inter Milan would be meeting Como,  Torino and Lazio which would not be easy games. While Napoli will be playing Genoa, Parma and Cagliari. These fixtures might look simple but we are at the end of the season where teams are fighting for survival..

Napoli playing at home is an advantage but they will have to play well to win these games. They can also win the Scudetto if they win two and draw one. With just seven points they wouldn't care about the outcome of Inter Milan games. But I think Napoli has a better chance of winning the league since they are focusing on one competition. Meanwhile, Inter is competing in more than one.
Napoli have the calendar advantage in addition to the simpler schedule. Inter participated in nine games spread over three competitions in April. Napoli? Four only. Conte has been really focused. Whole weeks for preparation, instruction, and micromanagement. Inter, meantime, are dragging old legs into every game with Mkhitaryan (35), Acerbi (37), and Sommer (35). When Como and Lazio are flooding you with youthful lungs, that is not sustainable

If Napoli choke even once, Inter can force a playoff. One game. Neutral ground. No goal difference. Straight to penalties if it's a draw. History in the making or heartbreak in 90 minutes
