Conte’s plan to take Napoli to first place at the end of the season: that would bring the Scudetto.
Napoli continues to dream of winning the Scudetto, all the more so after the draw in last Saturday’s direct clash against Inter highlighted that the Azzurri are absolutely up to those ambitions. Thanks to Billing’s goal in the final minutes, the Azzurri remained -1 behind the leading Nerazzurri, keeping the games still wide open until the end.
Today’s edition of Tuttosport highlights how Conte cares about his group’s concentration, but it is inevitable to make some calculations as to what the useful trend might be to bring the tricolor.
Napoli, ecco la quota Scudetto
The newspaper then posits a sort of “Scudetto quota,” based on the two teams’ schedule: according to reports, Napoli should set its goal on 86 points in order to celebrate at the end of the season.

It should be highlighted, in fact, a calendar that offers an easier path for the Azzurri than their rivals. In the hypothetical scheme drawn by the newspaper, therefore, Napoli should make in the remaining eleven days 9 victories, thus being able to afford even two draws (which are identified in the challenges against Bologna and Lecce).
Reaching that quota, Inter could at the end of the games find themselves just behind in the standings due to a calendar that will give a few more big matches between now and the end of the championship (including the one against Atalanta next week) and the large amount of commitments. Inzaghi’s boys are in fact still busy on all fronts, and the 2-0 win against Feyenoord hints at a continuation of the Champions League adventure as well.
Lotta Scudetto, rischio spareggio?
Such a plan, on the other hand, cannot exclude at all even the risk of the two top teams finishing on equal points. For the past few years, the rules of Serie A no longer provide for an analysis of the avulse standings to determine which team prevails, but the dispute of a play-off useful to determine on the field the team winning the tricolor.

This could also be the fate of the championship, considering the minimal distance between the two teams in a still very short standings, which also sees other rivals nearby.
In “Tuttosport’s” projection, however, Atalanta remains out of the running, a team for which a schedule is attributed that is unlikely to lead it to prevail over its opponents in the final standings. Discourse, of course, applied a fortiori for Juventus.
