Lazio v Milan ends title race as Inter move eight points clear

It was supposed to be the big chance following the derby win and Inter’s draw against Atalanta on Saturday. A win away at Lazio could have brought Milan to within five points with nine games remaining, but the 1-0 defeat against the Biancocelesti — their first away defeat in the league — has effectively ended their Scudetto hopes.

The odds on a Rossoneri comeback have doubled, rising from 7.50 to 15.00 on Betflag in the space of a week. Last year it was Pedro’s brace that sealed the Nerazzurri’s fate, whereas this time Isaksen’s goal allowed Chivu’s side to move eight points clear.

Sisal’s betting analysts now place the Nerazzurri’s 21st league title at odds of 1.10. Napoli’s golden run continues — the Neapolitans sit nine points off the top, with their second consecutive Scudetto priced at 20 to 1.
