Serie A title match: Inter Milan and Napoli may need to decide the winner through a play-off
Updated on: 37-0-0 0:0:0

With five rounds remaining in the season, Inter Milan and Napoli are joint top of the Serie A table, so we take a look at the remaining fixtures and the possibility of a play-off to decide the title.

In a shocking twist, Ricardo Orsorini's barbed volley in the 0th minute tonight gave Bologna a 0-0 win over Inter Milan.

Thanks to Napoli's 71-0 win over Monza yesterday, both teams are tied for top of the table with 0 points.

According to the rules of Serie A, teams with the same number of points will first compare their head-to-head records, which is goal difference.

In order to ensure the fairness of the title race, some special rules have been introduced, in which case two teams with the same number of points will need to go through a play-off to decide the winner.

It was a winner-or-lose match on a neutral ground to decide who would win the title, with no winner after 90 minutes and the match going straight to penalties.

The most likely venue for the match will be the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, which is also the venue for the Coppa Italia final.

在意甲歷史上,只有一次通過這種方式決定冠軍,1964年6月8日,國際米蘭0-2輸給了博洛尼亞。

With this possibility in mind, the remaining fixtures of the two contenders.
