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.
Agreed, Serie A is indeed exciting and certainly very competitive because the points difference is not too far between the first and sixth positions, even just one point. However, Napoli is in great danger with their performance after losing badly to Atalanta and being held to a draw by Inter Milan. In the next match they will also face a tough opponent against AS Roma who is currently being coached by an experienced coach, of course it will not be easy for Napoli to get points.
If they lose points again against AS Roma, this is a bad sign for Napoli because in three matches they have not been able to get perfect points, then psychologically the players will also affect the next matches. This is a test for Conte to be able to beat AS Roma in the next match so that the players' confidence will increase.
Another interesting match this week is AC Milan against Juventus. Juventus' performance this season, they are the only team that has never experienced defeat. However, in my opinion if Juventus gets more draws, that is also not good. Because it is better to lose once but win 2 times than to draw 3 times. Thiago Motta must immediately realize this and continue to improve so that Juventus can get positive results when facing AC Milan later.
