With six rounds to go, the current Italian championship is nearing its conclusion.

"Bologna v Juventus 1-1

The clear frontrunner, Napoli could have secured the championship last Sunday had they beaten the modest Salernitana, but the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Napoli are now top of the table, 18 points ahead of relegated Lazio. So, Napoli are very close to clinching the title in five rounds before the end of the title race: all they need to do is not lose away to Udinese on Matchday 33.

This is the third successive season Juventus have been without a league title. Yesterday, Massimiliano Allegri's side failed to beat Bologna Bologna 1-1, and they have now lost any chance of catching Napoli: six points adrift of the table, they are third on aggregate but 19 behind the leader. Roma, AC Milan and Inter all have three points shy of Juve.

1. "Napoli: 79 points

3. "Juventus 60
4. "Roma - 57
5. "AC Milan - 57
