Inter Milan legend Marco Materazzi feels Roma are the nearest challengers to Juventus and Napoli in the title race this season.

Materazzi regards Juve and Napoli as the clear top two contenders.

“Juventus and Napoli are better-equipped to win the Scudetto and have had the same skeleton of the side for several years," said Matrix.

“After them, I see Roma, as I really like Eusebio Di Francesco. I admire the intelligence of someone who remains faithful to his ideas, but changes if it's necessary. For example, Stephan El Shaarawy at the start hardly played at all, but in recent games he has been decisive.

“It's easy to create a bond with those who play regularly. Over many years of my career, I've found only one Coach who didn't see things the same way as me. And his career speaks for itself."
