2:45 am! Serie A final match: Naples wins the game = wins the championship, and will play in the playoffs with Inter Milan at the same time

9:09am, 23 May 2025Football

At 2:45 am on May 24, the final match of the Serie A championship this season, Napoli and Inter Milan will play against Cagliari and Como respectively. The results of these two games will determine the ownership of the Serie A championship this season. Strictly speaking, it is the result of the Naples game and will determine the fate of Inter Milan. After the first 37 rounds of the game, Napoli led Inter Milan by 1 point, which also means that they have the absolute initiative in the championship. Next, as long as they defeat Cagliari at home, Napoli will definitely win the championship, and they don’t need to look at Inter Milan’s face.

In the first 18 home games of this season, Napoli won 13 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, and scored 42 points. They ranked second in home record in Serie A, second only to Inter Milan, who played 19 games and scored 43 points. Judging from the average score, Napoli is the team with the best performance at home in Serie A. Against Cagliari, as long as Napoli performs normally, I believe they will likely get 3 points.

However, in football games, there is never a shortage of unpopularity. In the last home court, Napoli was tied by Genoa under heavy pressure and lost 2 points in vain. Obviously, although Naples has a huge strength advantage, they still have to pay more attention to the game against Cagliari. Once they are unable to score goals for a long time, an accident may happen.

If Napoli fails to win, Inter Milan will have a chance to counterattack and win the championship, provided they can defeat Cuomo away. In fact, Inter Milan faces difficulties in the last round of the game, which is far above Naples, because their opponent is one of the best teams in Serie A recently.

Before this, Cuomo had been unbeaten for six consecutive home games, and they also defeated Napoli 2-1 at one point. Unless Cuomo takes the initiative to release money, Inter Milan will face a fierce battle next. Even if Lautaro can come back in time, he may not start, and the goals of other Inter Milan strikers are not guaranteed. At that time, unless the defense team stands up and scores again, Inter Milan will lose points at any time.

From the current perspective, Naples is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the championship, and they have at least 90% chance of winning the championship. Only when they lose points can Inter Milan have hope. It is worth mentioning that there is an extreme situation in the Serie A championship drama, that is, the two teams are tied (Napoli loses at home and Inter Milan draws). At that time, both sides will play a playoff to decide the championship.

According to the rules, when the two teams compete for the championship, they need to play one extra game. If the draw is within 90 minutes, the penalty shootout will be held directly. Since Inter Milan will hold the Champions League final next weekend, they definitely do not want to play in the Serie A championship playoffs, otherwise it will have a serious impact on their physical strength. I believe that Inter Milan will definitely try their best to get 3 points in the next game against Cuomo. As long as they defeat their opponents, there will definitely be no playoffs. As for whether Inter Milan can win the championship in the end, it depends on the results of Naples' game!
