Team form rankings: Man City reclaim top spot with no LaLiga representative in top ten
In their yo-yo battle for supremacy in the team form rankings across Europe’s top five leagues, Manchester City have displaced Paris Saint Germain at the top once more following their 4-0 win at West Ham.
It certainly wasn’t Pep Guardiola’s side at their best, mustering just nine shots in total - the same number as their hosts - but PSG laboured to a 1-0 win over Toulouse despite Edinson Cavani’s early strike.
Elsewhere Eintracht Frankfurt jump from fifth to third with a fifth win in six, scoring three times against Augsburg to take their tally to 19 over the same period - enough to equal both the English and French leaders.
The highest risers onto the leaderboard, however, are Gladbach, who hit Hannover for four at the weekend to keep pressure on Borussia Dortmund at the top. While the leaders won again, it was the fifth game in six which they have failed to do so by more than a single goal, meaning Lucien Favre’s side have dropped out of the top ten for the time being.
There’s a return for Inter (tenth) having got back to winning ways in comfortable fashion against Frosinone, who join Juventus (fifth), Napoli (sixth) and Atalanta (ninth) in this week’s rankings.
The remaining spots are filled by another Bundesliga pairing in the form of Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, who sandwich Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table just one point above and below the champions in fourth and sixth respectively.
There’s no place for a La Liga representative whatsoever, and after the stalemate between Atletico and Barcelona it’s Girona (15th) that place highest in the rankings over their last six matches.
Real Madrid are way down in 58th by comparison following a 3-0 defeat at Eibar, one place ahead of the aforementioned Bayern and four clear of Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United.
