Fabio Capello warns the Scudetto race is far from over — punters should favour Inter outright but seek value on Milan (game in hand) or Roma in accumulators; consider small stakes on Milan handicap and Napoli draw/no-bet in direct clashes as safer alternatives for shifting momentum.
Capello: Serie A title race “not closed” despite Inter’s lead
Fabio Capello has warned that the Serie A championship remains open, urging caution before writing off contenders after recent results shook up perceptions of the title race.
Capello responds to Conte’s downbeat assessment
Capello reacted to Antonio Conte’s comments following Napoli’s penalty shoot-out defeat to Como, saying Conte’s assessment was influenced by the result. “The Italian championship is not closed,” Capello said. “There are still many games to play, with plenty of direct clashes. Calm down.”
More than just Inter in the title fight
While acknowledging Inter’s strong form, Capello highlighted that several clubs can still affect the outcome. He pointed to Milan’s steady improvement under Massimiliano Allegri and suggested Roma could re-enter the conversation if they resolve their centre‑forward issues. Capello insisted the season still has twists to come and that momentum from head-to-head fixtures will be decisive.
Current standings and contenders
Inter sit top with an eight-point lead, Milan are second with a game in hand, and Napoli trail the leaders by nine points. Juventus have narrowed gaps amid improved form, and Roma are level on points with Juventus, making it likely that one of these five teams will lift the Scudetto in May.
What this means for bettors
With Inter holding a clear advantage, the safest market is Inter to win the title. However, value exists on Milan to close the gap given their game in hand, and on Roma or Napoli in specific head-to-head markets. Consider smaller stakes on Milan handicap bets, Napoli draw/no-bet against direct rivals, or in-play wagers around momentum in pivotal fixtures.
