Former Inter midfielder Marco Tardelli says Antonio Conte's Serie A leaders have benefited from being bundled out of the Cups.
Inter were dumped out of the Champions League at the group stage this season.
“Being out of the cups has given Inter confidence, they have a fantastic squad and the option to rotate without suffering drops in quality," said Tardelli.
“It always remains the same. The other teams are more tired, it is quite obvious.
"One could have predicted this would happen and now the Scudetto is theirs to lose."
