The tightest divisional battle by far who will win?

Less than 6 points separate 1st to last in the stats. Probably will result in the most random results and least accurate predictions but let’s give it a go.

Flamengo have the most depth, best midfield and attack but just lack a quality keeper. Bordeaux in 2nd pack a punch up front and are solid enough in midfield. Malaga are well balanced except perhaps the keeper and should get auto promotion. Augsburg and Lille  have the best keeper , forward combo and we know this works well in the lower divisions.  Torino look set for a good cup run especially with a good keeper and good depth.  Mid 218 is the cut off to survive D3 so Stuttgart and above should be aiming for promotion this year.

The relegation zone sits at 216.5 most seasons and only 4 teams sit below Dynamo Moscow.  St-Etienne, Montpellier, Sevilla and Fiorentina have their main weakness in defence.  St-Etienne have a fair attack, and the rest a reasonable keeper so with the right tactics all 4 could survive.

Division 4 is much stronger than last season with less difference between first and last.
