Hello Rank Squad!
It's our penultimate episode in the Preview Series, and we're headed to Italy to take a look at all things Serie A!
Dean and Jack start by taking a look at Champions Napoli, and discussing how they'll get on in their title defence after a summer defined by their change of manager from Luciano Spalletti to Rudi Garcia. Then, we assess their main title challengers - in the form of Milan, Inter, Lazio and Juventus.
In Part 2, we look at the teams who might be outside chances in that race, especially Roma and Atalanta, before discussing the teams in the hunt for those other European spots - Fiorentina, Bologna, Torino and upwardly-mobile Monza.
Finally, there’s a look at the newly promoted sides, Cagliari, Genoa and Frosinone; before a discussion of those teams who might well join them in the relegation scrap - Hellas Verona, Lecce and Empoli - and how things might play out.
It’s Ranks!
