Yeah, of course. But Italy so rarely, rarely has upsets. Udinese finishing 3rd in 2011/12 shook the country to it's core. lol
Roma - sold their best midfielder to Juve.
Napoli - might sell their best striker to Juve, don't have the squad depth
Milan - a shadow of their former self, currently cannot buy players because of potential takeover from China, their best striker is for sale
Inter - rebuild phase, might surprise people, but lack depth too, best striker rumoured to leave
Fiorentina - no way
Juventus - have won 5 in a row, very solid acquisitions
FWIW, last season Juve had not cracked the top 10 in the standings until round 12! And they still won the damn thing.
All arrows point to it being decided before the new year. But what the hell...sports.
