Inter Milan will look to refocus their Serie A title defense as they travel to Torino on Sunday, still riding high from their remarkable Champions League semifinal victory over Barcelona. Despite the excitement of securing a place in the final, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain, Inter's domestic ambitions remain on the line, with the team currently trailing Napoli by three points in the league.
Coach Simone Inzaghi has insisted that his team has not prioritized one competition over another, and they continue to give their all across all fronts, even if their resources have been stretched thin.
However, Napoli's strong form suggests they are well on their way to securing a fourth Scudetto, with their upcoming fixtures against bottom-half teams Genoa, Parma, and Cagliari providing a clear path to further extend their lead.
Napoli has been in dominant form, having won their last four matches without conceding a goal, making them favorites to clinch the title with ease. For Inter, their focus must now turn to pulling back that gap, starting with Torino, before they face crucial clashes against Lazio and Como, teams that are also pushing for European spots.
The real excitement in Serie A seems to be coming from the battle for a Champions League spot, where Juventus, Roma, and Lazio are all locked on 63 points. Juventus will face Lazio in a crucial showdown on Saturday, while Roma travels to Bergamo to take on Atalanta, who are in third place and closing in on European qualification.
Roma's 19-match unbeaten run in Serie A has kept them firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish, with their recent form making them one of the most consistent sides in the league.
As the race for Champions League spots intensifies, Bologna, who sit just behind Juventus and Roma, are also aiming to push for a European place and will take on AC Milan at the San Siro on Friday. Bologna's hopes rest largely on the form of goalkeeper Mile Svilar, whose exceptional performances have been pivotal in keeping his team in the hunt.
Svilar's heroics in the 1-0 win over Fiorentina last week exemplify his importance, and he will play a crucial role in Roma's upcoming challenge against Atalanta's potent attack.
