Well we are fast approaching the halfway point, and some truely amazing events are unfolding.

My favourites for the AFM title, Sevilla and Boca, bit in the bottom two spots in that league facing possible relegation!

Also, a lack of goals in League 1 is making life difficult for clubs to move up the table! But saying that, League 2 sides have only scored an extra 3 goals in total, so why does League 1 seem so uneventfull?

Well I did make my feelings known on another thread as to why I think the goalscoring is low so I'll leave it there and make other comments on the season so far.

League 1 ... still anyone's for the taking. Tremendously close, five points cover all eight teams and that includes Leicester having a two-point gap over second-placed Sao Paulo! So while not many goals are scored, the competition is still very close and everyone still has a chance although the next two to three rounds could spread the field a little.

League 2 ... will be interesting to see how Simon fares with table-topping AZ Alkmaar. I'd tip them to take one of the promotion places. I think Bristol Rovers are front-runners for the other promotion place thanks to their goalscoring record. Dortmund may not be far behind either but CSKA Sofia probably won't get promoted as they are getting far too many draws and really aren't scoring much. I'd like to think I'm in the running if I can get some more wins on the board but I think I'm too far behind at this stage and the teams at the pointy end are playing quite well now.
