Five teams in close race for Serie A title

The New Year kicks off with four points separating the top five in the Serie A standings with Inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, AS Roma and Juventus all with a realistic shot at the title.

Inter hold top spot after a four-match winning run and on Sunday they host Bologna who put an end to their Italian Super Cup hopes this month with a semifinal win on penalties.

Bologna have hit a dip in league form, without a win in their last four games to slip to seventh and 10 points adrift of Inter, who are still without the injured Denzel Dumfries, Francesco Acerbi and Ange-Yoan Bonny.
