Maurizio Pistocchi predicts 2026/27 Serie A Scudetto contenders

Journalist Maurizio Pistocchi has released his predictions for the 2026/27 Serie A Scudetto race, categorizing the top Italian clubs into tiers based on their potential to win the title.

Inter Milan is placed in the top tier as the team to beat, noted for their squad depth and quality. In a surprising assessment, Como is also placed in the first tier, with Pistocchi highlighting the model built by Fabregas and the team's ability to press and counter-attack.

The second tier includes Roma, under the second year of Gasperini, and Juventus, managed by Spalletti. The third tier features Napoli and Milan. Regarding Napoli, Pistocchi notes that while they possess the strongest squad in the league after Inter, the decisive factor will be Massimiliano Allegri's ability to instill confidence and implement a proactive style of play.

For Milan, Pistocchi expresses confidence in Amorim's ultra-offensive pressing style, though he notes the squad has limited alternatives.
