Former Napoli and Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena feels that Inter are still the slight favourites in the Serie A title race just ahead of AC Milan and Napoli.

Speaking to Naples-based newspaper Il Mattino in an interview published in yesterday’s print edition, the former defender named the Nerazzurri as just ahead of their two main rivals for the Scudetto, but considered the race to be very close.

The Scudetto race tightened even further this weekend, with Inter’s unexpected loss to Sassuolo at the San Siro giving a boost to the Rossoneri’s and the Partenopei’s title chances.

The race is undoubtedly very close given the slender margins between the three teams at the top, though the Nerazzurri’s game in hand does still mean that their fate is in their own hands.

Dossena feels that the other two teams are still just behind Inter based on the respective quality of all three.

“I think it’s a three-horse race for the Scudetto, and I’d put Inter slightly ahead, and then Napoli and Milan,”
