Napoli, who have been knocked out of the Europa League, are likely to find it easier to focus on the Serie A title race, and the result was evident from yesterday's match against Lazio.
They have easier task now after losing Europa League but it does not automatically mean they will win matches in Serie A more easily. Theoritically, it should give them better results but let's see how they will play in next few matches. One win match after were out of Europa League is good but not enough to say Napoli will be able to maintain it for long time.
With this victory, Napoli can be at the top of the standings now but still have the same points with Milan, but the rivalry between Napoli and Milan will occur in the next match. Yes, Napoli will act as the home team against Milan in the next match and of course this is a very good moment to get full points. I also consider, Milan will have to play against Inter first in the Coppa Italia semi-final which puts the players under more pressure, with that factor then I believe Napoli will take advantage of this moment well to win and will keep a safe distance for their points at the top of the table.
Napoli and AC Milan match is a big one and at this time, it is a big one for Scudetto too. Inter Milan will do hope a draw between two clubs that will be a best result for them. Inter Milan still have a big match in a second leg against Liverpool in Champions League. That will drain their resources and concentration in Serie A, at least 1 or 2 more weeks. Will it be enough for Napoli and AC Milan to take advantage?
I believe Inter Milan almost don't have chance to beat Liverpool so that they will return to Serie A with 100% concentration soon. If at that time, the competition will be still closely among three clubs, it will be very exciting.
Liverpool have been on fire lately, they have been able to get points from important games. Narrowing down City lead in the EPL and wining the league cup against Chelsea is more than enough motivation to knock out this Inter side conveniently.
I think Inter Milan misses the person of Lukaku in that team. Since, he left they have not been that dangerous as they were last season.
