Overview
- Lazio sit top with 29 points after 11 rounds thanks to the league’s best defence rather than the most potent attack.
- The season has produced an unusually high scoring rate, with 342 goals in 110 matches and far fewer 0-0 draws than last year.
- Inter is widely seen as the most complete title contender when at full strength and draws the most attention as the team to beat.
- Juventus and Napoli are underperforming against expectations and injuries and form issues have left both clubs struggling in the early table.
- Refereeing patterns and club instability are rising pressures on the campaign, with VAR interventions and penalties increasing after the autumn break and five managerial dismissals by matchday 11.
