(Reuters) - Napoli are on the brink of claiming their first Serie A title in 33 years despite failing to win at home last weekend, and they may not even have to play to get their hands on the Scudetto this week and kick off a long-awaited party in Naples.

The league leaders are 18 points ahead with only six games left to play, and they will be crowned champions if second-placed Lazio fail to beat Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday, a day before Napoli themselves play away at Udinese.

Depending on the Lazio result, Spalletti said he may rest senior players, while Matteo Politano and Mario Rui will most likely miss the clash due to injuries. But they have taken only one point from their last four matches and lost to Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final. Lazio, who had been exceptionally consistent in the league in recent months, losing just one match since early January, have lost their last two Serie A games and seen their lead over third-placed Juve cut to just one point.
