It's been a great title race. It could yet go to a playoff. Lovely stuff.

Play off? Why’s that ?

 

[AZ Gull]

So, not all the final matches are played at the same time (looks like they are spread over three days).

Play off? Why’s that ?

If Napoli lose and Inter draw they’d be tied on 79 points. To decide the title winners they’d play a one off match at a neutral venue. GD etc doesn’t count if two teams are tied for points at the top of the table after all games have been played.

Correct
It's happened before
Goal difference not taken into consideration

IF Napoli win WBG would get a medal so yes
But he s barely played
He’s only in because Conte pushed Lobotka to play carrying a knock
He lasted only 13 mins before his ankle gave way recently
Conte will be gone in the summer
He s only played a select few Some out of position
Rather than play non first choice in their stead
Leading to unnecessary injuries
Buongiorno also was rushed back too soon Injured again

Forza Napoli
Finger s crossed they get over the line tonight

Napoli and Inter both play tonight in case a play off is required
As mentioned above

It would be played at San Siro because Inter have a better GD.

The only scenario for a tie-breaker game would be Napoli loss and Inter draw today.


Only once before has the title been awarded via a play-off victory in Italy and Inter fans will not need reminding of that occasion back in 1964.

Inter finished second to Bologna on goal difference after both sides accumulated 54 points across the 34-game term.

Bologna ran out 2-0 winners in the play-off at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

 

[Whoislloydy]

18th place Empoli, host 15th place Verona who can still be relegated on GD with a loss to Empoli.

EDIT: That is assuming Parma get at least a point away to Atalanta, and Lecce win away to Lazio

 

[Terry Connor]

Forza Napoli! Sempre!!

 

[TomandJerry]

Hoping Napoli can pull it off. Would be great to see them win

27 appearances this season, 12 starts, 13 sub appearances in the league and 2 cup appearances. .

1-0 Inter

Just looked at the last four seasons - the last group of matches were spread across multiple days for all four of them, so obviously nothing to do with play-offs.

No there is a possibility of Napoli v Inter playoff if results fall that way
Head to head or goal difference won't settle the title this year
(Apparently reverting to normal next season GD can decide it )
Fixture Moved to Friday to help accommodate that possibility before Inter s Champ league game next Saturday

Now that is surprising
1300 mins plus so far fair play
Scott Mctominay almost 3K in comparison probably why I said WBG barely played
But you re quite right a meaningful contribution

Scott Mctominay

Edit That is a fantastic finish

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

It would be played at San Siro because Inter have a better GD.

The original rules drawn up by the Italian League when they re-introduced the possibility of a champions playoff were it would be played at a neural venue. This season Inter would be designated the “home” side because of their better record. They must have changed this.
