Napoli enter 2025–26 Serie A season as clear title favourites
Antonio Conte’s Napoli are tipped by bookmakers as Scudetto favourites after a strong summer and a title-winning campaign in 2024–25.
According to bet365 and other analysts, Napoli lead the title odds at 13/8 ahead of the new Serie A season. After lifting the Scudetto in Conte’s debut year, the Azzurri have retained their key squad members and added several notable signings, including Kevin De Bruyne, Noa Lang, Lorenzo Lucca, and Sam Beukema.
Conte’s experience and tactical clarity have transformed Napoli into Italy’s most consistent side. While Inter and Juventus remain in contention, both clubs are undergoing internal reshuffles. Roma and Milan trail further behind in the bookmakers’ ranking.
Napoli’s preseason form has also impressed, with standout performances from midfielders Stanislav Lobotka and McTominay, as well as new keeper Vanja Milinković-Savić. Fans and pundits alike view them as the team to beat in 2025–26.
“We’re not defending the title. We’re chasing it again, with the same hunger.”
With the opening match scheduled for August 18, Napoli will begin the season at home against Genoa. A confident squad and a stable bench make them firm favourites to repeat last year’s success.
