(Reuters) -The possibility of a playoff or even a penalty shootout to decide the Serie A title is becoming more likely with Inter Milan and Napoli level on points at the summit and just five rounds of matches remaining.

After 33 games, the top two are locked together on 71 points, and while defending champions Inter have a much healthier goal difference, this criteria will not come into play should they end the season level on points.
