the competition for the top 6 in the Serie A standings I think will be tight. the points difference is very small and the teams do have good performances. unfortunately not seeing Milan and Roma who have less than good results this season. especially Roma who I think is quite depressed this season, as well as Milan who lost points in several matches.
the season is still quite long, but the consistency of the team from now on will determine how they will face the competition.
The level of competition this season is much fiercer than the previous season. Even Napoli, which is currently ranked 1st, is in a really unsafe position. Because Napoli is only 1 point different from all the teams ranked 2 to 5. And only 2 points different from ranking 6. I think this is the fiercest season compared to previous seasons.
There is really a great tussle amongst the top 6 teams when we take a look at the point gap of each of them but am more surprised at how Atalanta made it to second position considering how they were not too consistent at the beginning of the season but seeing them at where they are now means they have made a lot of improvements and what amazed me about them is how they have scored the highest goals so far. I feel Napoli will soon be dethroned despite that they conceded less goals among the top 6 teams which means they have a stronger defense but the forwards needs to get busy and score more goals otherwise i see Atalanta or Inter Milan dethroning them in the first position soon. From the second to the 5 position is really interesting as all of them are sharing equal points.
Regarding Milan and Roma they are struggling to improve things in their squad first. And currently Roma and Milan are quite far behind from the top 6 positions. But the season is still long, so opportunities are still wide open for any team at this time.
AC Milan may later improve and become better since they are in the 7th position and 5 points above Roma, but for Roma there is likely not going to be much improvement from them even though they just signed a new coach Claudio Ranieri, he may only succeed to build the team as against next season but i doubt if he can really elevate the team this season considering the current situation he met it, however there is enough time to change the narrative since he is also an experienced coach that has led some teams to victory in the past.
