Wins for Napoli, Inter and Juventus kept the pace up at the top of Serie A this weekend, and with another victory in the bag, the Naples outfit are still the favourites on betting websites to win the Scudetto.
After 14 league football games, neither Napoli nor Inter have lost, giving them the edge over the Bianconeri.
Napoli stay top after winning a tight match away to Udinese 0-1, Jorginho following up to score the decisive goal after his penalty had been well saved by Simone Scuffet. That nudged temporary leaders Inter back down to second after they’d held the top spot on Saturday, winning 1-3 against Cagliari. Mauro Icardi scored his 14th and 15th of the season to keep Inter’s momentum going.
Juventus stay in the hunt after a 3-0 win over Crotone, although the visitors kept Juve at bay for the first half. Mario Mandzukic, Mattia De Sciglio and Medhi Benatia scored in a dominant 20 minutes to keep the Old Lady within four points of the top.
Fourth-placed Roma had to settle for a 1-1 draw in Genoa when Daniele De Rossi received his marching orders, giving away the penalty which gave the hosts a point after Stephan El Shaarawy had given Roma the lead. And a 94th-minute penalty, converted by Fiorentina’s Khouma Babacar, made it 1-1 to deny Lazio a home win after Stefan de Vrij had headed the hosts into the lead.
Elsewhere, there were wins for Bologna, Chievo and Hellas Verona, while Milan and Torino shared the spoils in a goalless draw.
And on Monday, brave Benevento head to Atalanta in search of its first point.
