Italy coach Marcello Lippi believes it's a little premature to hand Inter the Scudetto, claiming the race is still very much open, despite the Nerazzurri's dominance at the summit.

The Beneamata boast a seven and eight point lead over Milan and Juventus respectively. The gap could increase to 11 points if the Bianconeri fail to pick up a good result against the champions at the weekend.

Nevertheless, Lippi is unconcerned.

"I think the Serie A race is still wide open," Lippi told the press at a football gala organised by the Italian Players Association (AIC).

"Speaking about the title being over just 14 weeks into the season is a little exaggerated seeing that there are still 24 matches to go where anything can happen.

"You can certainly see some values, but speaking about the title being won is a bit far fetched."
