"All of the aforementioned will feel like they can go the distance and lift the title. Inter are the ones that are currently top of the pile with 36 points from their first 16 games of the season. They overtook Milan on Sunday night by beating Atalanta away from home, a few hours after the Rossoneri had won against Verona at San Siro."
"By comparison, the top five clubs in the Premier League and LaLiga are both separated by 13 points at the end of the calendar year. In the Bundesliga, 14 points separate the top five with Bayern Munich again running away with it. In Ligue 1, 10 points separate the top five. The Italian top flight is no stranger to title battles that go right down to the wire."
Five teams — Inter, Milan, Napoli, Roma and Juventus — occupy the top of Serie A, separated by just four points as the calendar year ends. Inter lead with 36 points from 16 games after beating Atalanta, while Milan also won against Verona. Napoli sit third on 34 points following a Rasmus Hojlund brace against Cremonese. Roma moved to fourth with 33 points after a 3-1 win over Genoa, and Juventus are fifth amid a resurgence under Luciano Spalletti. The league's competitiveness contrasts with wider gaps in other major European leagues and echoes recent tight title finishes.
