For me it has to be Bayer Leverkusen, and Stuttgart the most where it feels like they can manage a good finish in the Bundesliga.

Girona, too has been surprising.

    Lazio really looked like they had hit the point under Sarri where they should be challenging for the league title this season.

    At the end of last season they were playing like the 3rd best team in Italy behind only inter and Napoli (and arguably were the 2nd best once Napoli tailed off having secured the title so early) really looked like everyone had fully absorbed sarri’s ideas and were about to hit the same kind of form his Napoli did in their third season where they nearly won the title.

    Now this season they look completely mid very little fluency probably fighting for a Europa league spot - Milinkovic Savic was a big loss but one player going shouldn’t have made them so stale.

      There’s always something about Lazio which I cannot understand, they can be actually so good only to completely be the opposite. And it’s true financial backing has a huge part to play in it and as well getting in the right players for the right amount.
