Italian experts back Napoli

By Football Italia staff

A survey among 100 experts of Italian football revealed Napoli as the favourites for the Scudetto, followed closely by Roma.

Fiorentina are currently holding the first place, but the Partenopei are stealing the scene with crushing victories such as the 4-0 against Milan and the sublime form of strikers Gonzalo Higuain and Lorenzo Insigne.

Today's edition of the Corriere dello Sport ran a survey among prominent Serie A pundits to determine the favourites, and Napoli came out on top.

They gathered 35 per cent of the votes, and their supporters included Gennaro Gattuso, Federico Barba, Giovanni Trapattoni and Maurizio Zamparini.

They were followed closely by Roma at 31 per cent, who have the favour of Carlo Ancelotti, Cesare Prandelli, Claudio Ranieri and Marco Fassone.

Fiorentina have 13 per cent of the votes, ahead of Inter and Juventus at 10 per cent each, while only one point was given to Lazio, by their former Coach Davide Ballardini.
