In the 34th round of Serie A, Milan’s Inter suffered a painful defeat to Roma (0:1), drastically reducing their chances of winning the championship, according to Opta. Now, Inter's chances of claiming the Scudetto are estimated at just 18.7%, while Napoli has become the main favorite with an 81.3% probability of triumph.
Until recently, Inter was considered the main contender for the title — before the 34th round, their chances were rated at 55.8%, compared to Napoli’s 48.7%. However, two consecutive setbacks in the league pushed the Milanese side down to second place: they now have 71 points, while Napoli has 74.
Just a few days ago, Inter was fighting for a treble, but first lost to AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semifinals and then fell to Roma in Serie A. On top of that, a tough schedule awaits the team: a Champions League clash with Barcelona and a series of challenging matches in the league. It is worth noting that midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan missed the match against Roma due to suspension.
In the 34th round, Napoli defeated Torino 2-0 and strengthened their position at the top of the table, leading Inter by three points.
The main question now is whether Inter can save their season by winning at least one trophy.
