Is there any suspense in the 2023-24 Serie A season so far? I'm afraid there may still be suspense about everything, but there is no suspense about the ownership of the championship trophy.
With 1 game in hand, the lead is 7 points, and the only rival Juventus has a less stable record, while Inter Milan's record is surprisingly stable.
For Juventus and AC Milan, the more realistic goal is not to compete for the title, but to qualify for the Champions League, which has been difficult to create a substantial threat to Inter Milan, but the top four is still relatively stable. European qualification, the battle for fourth to sixth place, is extremely tragic and full of variables.
Defending champion Napoli, the current squad strength, is still first-class in Serie A, but the results are quite poor.
Nature of competition: 25th round of Serie A.
Time: 4:00 on February 17
In the current Serie A standings, Inter Milan leads with 60 points in 23 games, 19 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and 7 points more than the second place Juventus with 1 round less, obviously occupying the initiative in the championship.
Salernitana has 24 games, 2 wins, 7 draws, 15 losses and 13 points, firmly at the bottom of the Serie A standings, 7 points behind Sassuolo, who is in 17th place outside the relegation zone, and Sassuolo has 1 round less, and the relegation situation is already quite grim.
Inzaghi, who took office in Salernitana halfway through, has already left class, and the Inzaghi brothers have no chance to stage a "derby".
Inter Milan is unbeaten in the last 10 games, 8 wins and 2 draws.
Salernitana last 10 games, 1 win, 2 draws, 7 losses.
The two sides have met five times before, with Inter Milan having the upper hand with 4 wins and 1 draw.
There is no doubt that the Nerazzurri will win this game.
Nature of competition: 25th round of Serie A.

Napoli currently have 35 points from 23 games, 10 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses, ranking ninth in the Serie A standings, 25 points behind the leader Inter Milan and seven points less than Atalanta in fourth. Although compared to last season, the main central defender Kim Min-jae has gone, and the main center Osimhen is often absent, but the main problem should be the change of head coach.
Genoa have 29 points from 24 games, 7 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses, ranking 12th in the Serie A standings. Genoa themselves are a mid-table team in Serie A, and their current results are at a normal level.
Napoli have 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 games.
Genoa have won 3 games, drawn 5 and lost 2 in the last 10 games.
In the last 10 meetings between the two sides, Napoli has the upper hand with 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.
Despite the poor form of both sides at the moment, Napoli are stronger and playing at home again, so this narrow victory should be expected.
