Di Canio: Serie A title race between Juventus and Napoli

Published on: 28 December 2015

Former Lazio striker Paolo Di Canio has stated that the Serie A title race this season will be contested between Juventus and Napoli.

The Partenopei currently sit in third in the table with 35 points, whilst reigning champions Juve are two points behind them in fourth following a difficult start to the season.

“In the end, the title will be contested between Juventus and Napoli,” Di Canio told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Inter are convincing, but they could have unexplained blips like Lazio [a 2-1 home loss].

“Roma, on the other hand, are extremely inconsistent.”

Di Canio also spoke about former Roma and Inter boss Claudio Ranieri, who is currently top of the English Premier League as coach of Leicester City.

“It’s a fantastic story that makes me proud to be Italian,” he said. “Ranieri gave Leicester the best things Italian football have to offer: organisation and tactics.”

Inter currently lead the Serie A table with 36 points from 17 games, two points off both Fiorentina and Napoli, who occupy second and third place respectively.
