Division 2 the edge of greatness or a fall into darkness.
Four defensive teams lead the pack.
If you take 90 as the gold standard there is one team a cut above the rest which is clearly Tottenham who should easily gain promotion. They should fear no team and with strength in depth should put a good cup campaign together. Roma should also push them hard but lack a little in depth ,which deep in the season will count against them. After the obvious 2 favourites a pack of others have little to split them. Zenit or Everton should fancy the 3rd spot.
Ajax and CSKA may well finish higher than predicted if they can keep a full team out most games.
However to secure promotion and your place in D1 you really need to top 89 as your average here which means the rest really have some building to do if they are to go up and stay up.
Spartak are off to a flying start but with a weak keeper that won’t last . Of the relegation favourites Lokomotiv have the strength in depth to avoid the drop where as Benfica look well adrift of the rest.
