Lazio and Athletic Bilbao have the same points, namely 16 points with 5 wins and 1 draw, on the other hand both teams are also the teams with the strongest defense so far in the UEFA Europa League, at least from 6 matches. Lazio only conceded three goals, and Bilbao even less, they only conceded two goals. On the other hand in their respective domestic leagues, they are also teams that are quite reckoned with when facing top teams, especially Lazio who were able to stop Napoli's winning record and were able to hold Atalanta to a draw.
and another team that is worth considering this season is E. Franankfurt, they are one of the best teams in the Bundesliga and they also have a reliable striker who is currently on the rise, namely Omar Mamoush. but unfortunately, when the competition towards the last 16 was quite tight, the English club that usually performed impressively, they had to lose their consistency.
Their current number of goals scored and conceded are not so different and actually are not so relevant in my opinion as they both have played great and impressive games. I think both teams are well set up to be able to win this title as they have mostly performed against expectations. I didn't see Bilbao being so strong and while Lazio had some weaker results, they have been playing better than expected as well.
