🤩 Serie A thrills: most unpredictable league, record set 🥇

For years, there has been talk about the decline in the quality of the Italian league. While on one hand this downturn has caused our clubs to lose prominence on the international stage, on the other, it has brought greater balance among the title contenders.

With the end of Juventus' dominance, who collected a string of Scudetti throughout the 2010s, Serie A has once again become an unpredictable league. There have been four different winners since 2020.

Inter, Milan, Napoli, and Juventus themselves have shared the spoils, but other clubs like Atalanta, Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina, and more recently Bologna have put up a fight and have often finished in the top positions.

🔥 Four teams within two points

This increased balance is confirmed by some very interesting data: for the second season in a row, after 13 matchdays, at least four teams are at the top within two points of each other. This had never happened in the previous 30 seasons in the era of three points for a win.

That's not all. Nine of the first 13 matchdays have seen no sole leader at the top. This hadn't happened since the 2011/12 season, and to find a season with more “leaderless” matchdays at this point in the league, you have to go back to 2003/2004 (an incredible 12 out of 13). In more recent times, the 2021/2022 season, with eight out of 13 matchdays, and 2022/2023, with seven out of 13, have been the most balanced.

At the moment, Napoli and Milan share first place with 28 points. Behind them are Inter and Roma with 27. Bologna could also join second place if they win against Cremonese, and Como and Juventus are not far behind either, with 24 and 23 points respectively.

Many teams within a few points of each other, led by some of the best coaches around. With a table like this, everyone has the right to dream—and who knows, maybe the Scudetto will be won by a surprise team.
