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.
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.
Yes you are right, Serie A can have a competition that looks much tighter than before, at least until the last week they play. Because all the matches they have played, make their points difference not far apart and of course this makes those in it not comfortable enough. Napoli had slipped in the last 2 matches they played, so that made them have to be in a very tight gap with the team that is right below them at this time. But this is what we want to see. Yes, tight competition will make the league more interesting to watch. Hopefully this kind of competition lasts until the end of the season.
Seria A is the only league currently that the competition is very tough and no club wants to be on the dulling side, as they are eager to take over the first position from Napoli. What baffles me is the point gap of the top six clubs on the table.
I will love to watch all the six clubs matches if they will not clash, because it will be good to see who amongst them would be left behind. Napoli needs to take their match with Roma serious, otherwise, they might fall to the fourth position if they allow Roma to win or draw the match.
