5 Reasons why Serie A is the most competitive league right now

#5 The Predictability of the title races in other leagues

Other leagues, such as Ligue 1, are being dominatedWhilst Serie A itself now appears to have several clubs which can realistically challenge for the title, the other big leagues across the continent are not looking so exciting.

Under the steady stewardship of Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona are leading La Liga at present, having won eleven of their opening twelve matches. Valencia may be snapping at their heels, trailing by just four points, but their inexperience renders them unlikely to sustain that challenge and third-placed Real Madrid are ten points off the pace. Barcelona's name may as well be etched on the trophy now.

Perhaps most surprisingly of all is the unpredictability of the Premier League this campaign, where Manchester City currently lead at the top by eight points as the only unbeaten club in the division. The title seems pretty much guaranteed at this early stage.

Meanwhile, in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 respectively, both Bayern Munich and PSG have re-established themselves at the top, with the former leading by six points and boasting a goal difference nine goals superior to the next highest. PSG meanwhile are unbeaten also, storming to a six point lead and boasting a goal difference of +34 themselves.

Compared to Serie A, where just five points separates first from fourth, the other top flights are not matching the competition and unpredictability of Serie A by a long shot.
