Unfortunately for Inter, their fate is no longer in their hands, as they currently trail their foes by three points.

Simone Inzaghi’s men were in control not so long ago. However, their packed schedule has finally taken its toll on the players who now appear physically and mentally drained, as noted by former Inter president Massimo Moratti.

Hence, the Nerazzurri suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of Bologna and AS Roma. This allowed the fresh and in-form Napoli to overtake them and place themselves in the driver’s seat.

Napoli Take The Lead In The Serie A Title Race

Antonio Conte’s men only need to collect seven points from their remaining three fixtures to crown themselves champions for the fourth time in the club’s history.

Therefore, Maifredi insists the Partenopei are now the clear favourites to prevail in this thrilling battle.

“Napoli are the favourites for the Scudetto,” said the former Bologna and Juventus manager in his interview with Radio Anch’io Sport on Rai Radio 1 (via FcInterNews).

“They don’t have to play in the cups and they have a three-point advantage.”

The 78-year-old notes that very few had predicted such an outcome at the beginning of the campaign.

“This was difficult to predict at the start of the season. Everyone would have said Inter and maybe Juve. But Napoli are doing a great achievement,” he concluded.

In the next outing, the Azzurri will host Genoa at the Stadio Maradona. The Liguarians have little to play for at this stage of the season.

Afterwards, Napoli will head to Parma to take on Christian Chivu’s band at the Ennio Tardini. The Croaciati have managed to take points from Inter, Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina in recent weeks.

Their final match of the season will be against Cagliari at home.

On the other hand, Inter still have two tough away contests against Torino and Como, and between them a clash at home against Champions League hopefuls, Lazio.
