Serie A outright winner odds and prediction: Napoli favourites for another Scudetto

After an exciting and tight title race in the Serie A last season, Napoli have won their second title in the last three years, while Inter Milan, who were favoured to win this race, faltered at the finish line.

Napoli are the favourites with bookmakers to retain their Scudetto crown, which would be their third title in four seasons should they manage to do so. With that in mind, let us take a closer look at the Serie A outright winner odds.

Selections to watch

Inter Milan

Inter's 2024/25 season was like a rollercoaster that goes up and up, only to drop down hard. At one point, they were in contention to win a triple crown, but they ended up empty-handed in all competitions – losing the Serie A title to Napoli by one point, the Coppa Italia semi-final to AC Milan, and the UEFA Champions League (UCL) to PSG.

They enter the next season once again as one of the main favourites to win Serie A but will they be able to match their performance of last season and avoid the same mistakes? Notable arrivals for Inter in the summer transfer window so far to help them retain their crown are striker Ange-Yoan Bonny from Parma, while further midfielders in Luis Henrique and Petar Sucic have been recruited from outside of the Serie A.

The runners-up have also managed to keep the core of their squad together thus far, and it is imperative that they keep their best players at the club before the deadline.

Napoli

The Parthenopeans have won their second title in three years and their fourth title overall, but it was a hard-fought battle until the end. Luckily for Napoli, Inter had a few bad results in the final third of the season, while Napoli found their best form at the right time and in the end claimed the title by one point.

Napoli are the favourites with bookmakers when it comes to the odds for winning Serie A next season. They have already strengthened their title-winning squad with the likes of midfielder Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer after leaving Manchester City, as well as splashing the cash on central defender Sam Beukema from Bologna.

In terms of outgoings, the big-name departure is striker Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray, but he was already on loan at the reigning Turkish Super Lig champions in the 2024/25 campaign.

AC Milan

The Rossoneri finished last season in eighth place in the standings, far below their quality and expectations. Despite this, they are the fourth favourite to win the league next season and we do agree with the bookies that they will have a chance.

First of all, the quality is there and Milan will certainly reinforce the team during the summer transfer window. Secondly, Milan will not play in Europe next season, so their full focus will be on Serie A and that could prove to be a big advantage over other candidates for the title.

However, it should be noted that the Rossoneri have lost a number of big names in the summer transfer window so far, notably the likes of Tijjani Reijnders and Malick Thiaw to the Premier League in Manchester City and Newcastle respectively. They have also strengthened though by brining in the likes of Ardon Jashari from Club Brugge and Sanuele Ricci from Torino.

Atalanta

La Dea had the pleasure of leading the league at one point last season, but they went into a serious crisis in February and March, after which they fell too far behind Inter and Napoli. During this time they were also eliminated from the UCL by Club Brugge, which was a hard shock to recover from.

Nevertheless, Atalanta finished third in the final Serie A standings and they are a great team, always near the top in the league, at least in the last decade. The bookies doubt they can break through and finally win the Scudetto, but next season could prove to be the one when they finally lift the trophy.

Notable arrivals in the summer transfer window so far for Atalanta include the likes of striker Nikola Krstovic from Lecce and Odilon Kossounou from Bayer Leverkusen, while the biggest departure is undoubtedly striker Mateo Retegui to Al Qadsiah for big money.

Who will win Serie A? Here is our prediction

Inter led the race for the title last season and it seemed like they will run away with it, but a few slip-ups in the final stretch of the season cost them the Scudetto, with Napoli finishing at the top by one point. It seemed that the Neroazzuri could not keep up the pace at multiple fronts and in the end, they failed to win any trophies.

That being said, Inter are our pick to win the title in the Italian top flight next season. They have enough quality and now they have added experience.

After all, we have seen many times that teams learn from failure and come out stronger next time around. Meanwhile, if the odds on Inter winning Serie A do not entice you, we suggest backing up Atalanta to win.

At 33/1 odds, Atalanta seem to be quite underestimated by the bookies. After all, they were also in the lead last season for a while and they did finish third in the standings.
