Scudetto Countdown
Corriere dello Sport leads with `Countdown`, focusing on the Scudetto race between Napoli and Inter. The spotlight is on Antonio Conte and his determination to halt Inter`s ambitions.

Two victories would secure the Scudetto for the Partenopei, who will be supported by 5,000 fans in Parma. Doubts remain regarding Napoli`s tactical formation. Among the players, Raspadori is considered untouchable, while Lobotka`s injury opens the door for Gilmour. Meanwhile, Beppe Marotta is looking at the transfer market, with Joshua Zirkzee reportedly a target.
