Gasperini backs Inter: “They are the favourites for the Scudetto”

Gian Piero Gasperini has named Inter as the leading candidates to win the Scudetto. The Atalanta coach recognised the Nerazzurri’s weight in the title race, while stressing that the league can change quickly if Chivu’s side gives its challengers an opportunity.

The message from the Bergamo coach is clear: Inter start as the team to beat, but cannot afford drops in performance. “Inter are favourites for the Scudetto, but if they make a mistake…,” Gasperini said, leaving the door open for the other Serie A contenders. His assessment comes during an especially demanding period for the Nerazzurri, who are competing on several fronts and must manage both their energy and results.

Inter go into today’s match against Como after beating Venezia 2-0, losing the derby 3-1 to Milan and recording a convincing 3-0 Champions League win away to Feyenoord. Their next league appointment is today, Sunday 8 November, at 18:00 against Como. After the international break, the Nerazzurri will face Atalanta on 22 November at 20:45.
