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.
It is even hard for now to say these are the teams that will make the top four, as the points difference is so close, and the positions can keep changing after every match played. In my own view, the reason why many are seeing this season as different and so tight is all because these big teams are not in great form currently. Even when they find form, many of these matches they are drawing or losing are against average or weak teams they are supposed to be winning against.As for Roma, I don't think they will be able to make the top six this season if they continue with this form. Roma was better than this last season, especially toward the end, and I don't even know why Roma has dropped form like this.
