Why Napoli and Inter disagree on dates for final round of 2024-25 Serie A season
Despite there being just one point separating Napoli and Inter at the top of the Serie A table with one game to go, it has not yet been confirmed when the final round of the 2024-25 season will take place, and the two teams involved in the title fight have different dates in mind for the Scudetto showdown. Napoli were held level at 0-0 away against Parma on Sunday night, while Inter were pegged back twice against Lazio for an eventual 2-2 draw in San Siro, which keeps the Partenopei one point clear at the top of the Serie A standings heading into the final week of the season. Advertisement However, given that it is still technically possible for there to be a Serie A play-off, and with Inter participating in the Champions League final one weekend after the league season is due to finish, it is increasingly likely that the last round of the 2024-25 season will take place midweek. Napoli and Inter, however, have two different preferred dates in mind. Here's why. Why Napoli and Inter want last round of Serie A season to be played on different days Inter Milan's Argentine forward #10 Lautaro Martinez lifts the trophy with teammates during a ceremony for the Italian Champions following the Italian Serie A football match between Inter Milan and Lazio in Milan, on May 19, 2024.

Advertisement Napoli, meanwhile, would prefer to play the game on Friday night, which would allow them to celebrate the title heading into the weekend if they are victorious in their last match of the season against Cagliari. Importantly, La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that the TV broadcasters DAZN would also prefer to play the game on Friday instead of Thursday in order to maximise viewing figures, as a Friday night game tends to bring a bigger viewership than games on Thursday. A decision over the scheduling for the final week of the Serie A season is expected to arrive by the end of Monday.
