ROME — Defending champion Napoli was held to a 0-0 draw at Champions League-chasing Como on Saturday — a result that could help Inter Milan clinch the Serie A title.

Napoli narrowly missed two late chances, first with Scott McTominay’s effort going wide and then with Matteo Politano hitting the post.

Second-place Napoli was left nine points behind Inter, which hosts Parma on Sunday.

Only three rounds remain after this weekend.

Fifth-place Como was left two points behind fourth-place Juventus, which hosts Hellas Verona on Sunday.

The top four finishers qualify for the Champions League.

Also, Atalanta and Genoa drew 0-0 and Udinese beat Torino 2-0 with goals from Kingsley Ehizibue and Thomas Kristensen.
