Former Napoli defender Paolo Cannavaro has said that Juventus can be the beneficiary of Inter, AC Milan, and Napoli losing regularly, according to a report in the Italian broadcast media.

Speaking during an interview with Televomero, via FCInter1908, Paolo Cannavaro took stock of the current Serie A title race.

He still seems to be standing by his claim from the start of the season that Napoli can win the Scudetto. They are currently in second place, three points behind AC Milan and one ahead of Inter.

“I said at the beginning of the year, Napoli can absolutely win the Scudetto.”

He then said that fourth placed Juventus are the team that can benefit from the regular slipups in recent weeks that the top three teams have all been experiencing.

“The championship is balanced. All the teams at the top can win it, even Juve who are behind and benefit from the losses that Milan, Napoli and Inter have.”

Juventus are currently seven points behind Serie A’s top side, AC Milan. They are in a promising run of form in the league and cannot be discounted from the title race at this current moment.
