This season has had too many surprises. not even only in Serie A. some of the strong favorites for this season had to lose to the dark horse teams.
The two teams that I think have been stable over the past few seasons are Napoli and Lazio. the performance of both did look good at the beginning. but sometimes they often drop points in the middle of the season. that's what makes both teams experience a decline in the rankings in the Scudetto competition.
Currently, the standings position is still very likely to change. the difference in points between the teams is not too far. I am still waiting for Juventus and Milan to rise.
For me, the team that surprised me the most at the start of the season was Udinese. After losing to Milan in their opening match, they seem too tough for any other team to beat. Roma and Inter have fallen victim to Udinese's ferocity recently, 4-0 and 3-1 were scores that Mourinho and Inzaghi's men could not avoid.
This weekend, Udinese vs Atalanta will be decisive. The result of this match will affect the position of these teams in the standings considering neither of them wants to lose. Atalanta are strong in defence, while Udinese's goal productivity is excellent. So this match seems to be very interesting.
Udinese has become a formidable team and it is proven that they can beat big teams like Inter Milan and AS Roma. They were so surprising with good performances at the start of this season. I want to see their good performance continue, because it will be more interesting to see them win the Scudetto this season even though it is very difficult to realize. It doesn't have to be Udinese, teams like Atalanta and Napoli will also be interesting if they can win the Scudetto.
