The start of Serie A in mid-August and the busy schedule of international engagements are rewarding the teams outside the continental circuit
We knew that it was a particular season due to the long forced stop due to the world championship, but that it could affect so much in the league performance of the teams involved in the European cups was not so predictable. The numbers speak for themselves: the 7 teams involved in UEFA events totaled in the 8 days 104 pointsnamely the 13% less compared to the 120 points scored by the 7 teams competing in the European cups last year after the first 8 days. The teams without European commitments, on the other hand, can boast a total of 113 pointsthat is the 10% more compared to the 103 collected by the 13 teams without continental commitments last year, always after the first 8 rounds. In practice, in just 12 months, we went from a +17 in favor of the teams involved in Europe, to a +9 in favor of those who “rest” in the midweek.
In particular, we can highlight how the team that has played fewer official matches in this initial part of the season, that is theAtalanta (8 games), is at the top of the standings with 20 points, while the one that has played the most (the Fiorentina with 12) occupy 11th place in the standings with only 9 points. In this context we must also underline the third place of theUdinese (19 points) who has played 9 official matches so far.
The results of the direct clashes in the league between the teams involved in Europe and beyond. After first roundin fact, where all the 7 teams competing in the European cups had made the en plein of victoriesthe first “crunches” began, especially from the FIORENTINA immediately engaged in the two games of the Conference League play off. The purple team, in fact, after the draw for Empolilost ad Udine, Bologna and Bergamo. In turn we can mention theINTER that, after the success on the Cremonesehe tore the three points with Turin to the last dive, before suffering a bad knockout ad Udine.
Obvious problems also for the JUVENTUS: after the success on the Spicethey got the home draw against the Salerno and the defeat of Monzapartially offset by the subsequent success on the Bologna. Also there ROME is not free from this sort of seasonal “curse”: after the clear success on the Monzain fact, the Giallorossi have come out battered from Udineto get up (with some difficulty) against theEmpolionly to succumb again, this time at home, against theAtalanta. MILAN much better than the others, albeit with some reservations: after the victory over Bolognain fact, the draw has arrived with Sassuolofollowed by the success on the Samp (Giroud’s penalty was decisive) and from the victory of Empoli (accrued in the final recovery minutes). There LAZIOafter having struggled with the Sampdoria(1-1), he struck a streak of consecutive victories against Verona, Cremonese and Spezia. We conclude this one-to-one analysis of the competitions between the teams involved in the European and non-European cups, with the NAPLES which, despite the first place in the ranking, was slowed down by the freshman Leccemanaged in extremis to conquer the three points with the Spiceto then win outright against the Turin.
Three clashes between teams involved in European and non-European cups are scheduled for the next day: Sassuolo-Inter, Cremonese-Naples and Rome-Lecce.
