Napoli’s 1-0 win at Roma tightens Serie A, leaving four teams within a point — five if Bologna beat Cremonese. For bettors, expect tight favorites and low-line markets: back Napoli or Milan in match bets, consider under 2.5 goals in top fixtures, and target David Neres for anytime-scorer markets after his decisive strike.
Serie A table tighter than ever after 13 rounds
Napoli squeeze past Roma
Napoli secured a vital 1-0 victory at Roma thanks to David Neres’s decisive strike, a result that reshapes the title race. The win lifts Napoli level on 28 points with AC Milan, narrowing the margins at the summit and putting pressure on the other contenders.
Milan and Inter maintain pressure
AC Milan kept pace with a 1-0 victory over Lazio, while Inter registered a 2-0 win away at Pisa. Those results mean the top four are separated by just a single point, creating an unusually compact leaderboard after 13 matches.
Roma and Bologna chasing hard
Roma slipped to fourth on 27 points, level with Inter, while Bologna sit fifth on 24 points and can close the gap if they beat newly promoted Cremonese. Bologna arrive in good form, having won their last three league matches, whereas Cremonese have lost three in a row.
What this means for the title race and bookmakers
The compressed table raises stakes for every fixture: favorites will be narrowly priced and small margins could decide outcomes. Expect bookmakers to shorten lines on Napoli and Milan while offering conservative totals on matches involving the top sides, given a run of low-scoring results. Punters might prefer match odds on the clear favourites, under 2.5 goals in top clashes, and anytime-scorer bets on in-form attackers such as David Neres.
