McTominay and Napoli have favourable advantage in Serie A title run-in

The Serie A title race is hotting up with 11 games of the 2024-25 campaign left to go, and while Napoli are still one point behind Inter at the summit, Antonio Conte and his team have a favourable advantage heading into the final run-in.

Three points separate the top three teams in Serie A: The league leaders, Inter, have 58 points, Napoli 57 and Atalanta 55. Juventus are six points off the top of the table in fourth place.

From now until the end of the season, Napoli will not have to play against any of the teams who are currently in the top five in Serie A ie. Inter, Atalanta, Juventus or Lazio.

The Partenopei still have tests against seventh-placed Fiorentina coming up this weekend, ninth-placed Milan on March 30 and sixth-placed Bologna on April 6. Other than those matches, all of Napoli’s remaining eight league games will be against teams currently in the bottom half of the standings.

What is even more encouraging for Napoli is the fact that they have already beaten every single one of their upcoming Serie A opponents in the league already this season.

Remaining Napoli fixtures

Fiorentina (March 9), Venezia (March 16), Milan (March 30), Bologna (April 6), Empoli (April 13), Monza (April 20), Torino (April 27), Lecce (May 4), Genoa (May 11), Parma (May 18), Cagliari (May 25).
