Last season, the Serie A title race went down to the final day. In the end, AC Milan won their 19th title ahead of their city rivals Inter Milan. And after six matches, it looks like the title race may be more intense than last season. After six games, the top five teams are separated by one point. The top three teams have accumulated the same number of points, have the same win record and are only separated by goal difference. Then there’s Juventus and Inter Milan, who are currently sixth and eighth but have the talent and personnel to win the league title.
The title race will also be decided to some extent by the transfer window. This does include not only big signings such as Paulo Dybala (signed by AS Roma), and Romelu Lukaku (signed by Inter Milan) but also some signings such as Rasmus Hojlund (signed by Atalanta) and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia (signed by Napoli).
Furthermore, none of the sides have been perfect and have delivered underwhelming performances. This will also give chances to teams such as Juventus, who have fallen behind in the title race.
So, how do the top teams rank in what promises to be one of the closest Serie A title race?

They also lost star defender Christian Romero (signed by Tottenham), and Remo Freuler (signed by Nottingham Forest). However, Atalanta were armed with cash which they spent smartly.
The team brought Merih Demiral as a replacement for Romero. In addition, they signed winger Jeremie Boga and midfielder Ederson. They also added two young talented players in Ademola Lookman and Hojlund. And this has worked wonders for them.
While Atalanta have scored ten goals, the fifth-most in the league, the defence has been impressive. The team has conceded the least goals in the league. In addition, they have won the most aerial duels and are third in interceptions.
Demiral has established himself in the defence. However, the star of the team has been Teun Koopmeiners. The all-action midfielder has…
