The ongoing season has probably been the best in the career of talented Italian custodian Elia Caprile. Even though he spent the first half of the season mostly on Napoli’s bench, once the Neapolitans loaned him to Cagliari last January, he got a chance to show his full potential, establishing himself as one of the best young shot-stoppers on the Boot in the Rossoblu’s jersey.The crown of what could be his breakthrough season could be the Scudetto with Napoli, but that’s where an interesting and probably unprecedented conundrum begins…Contract and jersey of the same color ready for De BruyneGiven that Caprile had made four Serie A appearances with Napoli – against Juventus, Monza, Como, and Empoli – replacing the injured Alex Meret, the criteria for him to be pronounced one of the title winners and get a medal are met. However, Caprile could win the Scudetto with the Neapolitans playing against them tonight!Namely, Antonio Conte’s crew faces Cagliari tonight (21.45), and if they win, they’ll clinch their second Serie A trophy in the last three years, which basically means Caprile would have to lose if he wants to be the champion! In addition, the 23-year-old’s father, Gigi, was born in Napoli and is a huge Neapolitans fan.Cagliari are considering benching Elia Caprile for Friday’s match against his parent club.[@tuttosport] pic.twitter.com/KAaObaNphG— Napoli Zone (@TheNapoliZone) May 21, 2025 Yet, according to the latest information from the Boot, Caprile suffered a muscle injury and may not be between the posts tonight at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Or it could be just Cagliari manager Davide Nicola’s decision in an attempt to avoid jeopardizing the regularity of the competition.Either way, Napoli will be champions if they triumph tonight. Otherwise, Inter Milan – facing Como at the same time – could leapfrog them and snatch the Scudetto in the final round, as Conte’s team tops the table being one-point up ahead of tonight’s clashes.The most interesting turn of events would definitely be Napoli’s defeat and Nerazzurri’s draw since that would mean the teams were tied at the top of the Serie A table and require an additional tie-breaker match.SERIE A – FINAL MATCHDAYFriday21:45: (5.00) Como (4.20) Inter (1.63)21:45: (1.20) Napoli (7.75) Cagliari (16.0)Saturday19:00: (1.53) Bologna (4.20) Genoa (6.25)21:45: (1.25) Milan (7.00) Monza (12.0)Sunday21:45: (1.75) Atalanta (3.70) Parma (5.40)21:45: (2.00) Empoli (3.45) Verona (4.30)21:45: (1.55) Lazio (4.20) Lecce (7.00)21:45: (6.25) Torino (3.90) Roma (1.57)21:45: (3.80) Udinese (3.45) Fiorentina (2.00)21:45: (6.50) Venezia (4.00) Juventus (1.60)***odds are subject to change***
