The same applies this year in Portugal with Benfica andFC Braga heading up the title race with the same number of points.
There are always some leagues, however, where the leader is fairly well entrenched at the front of the pack. This can be said about the French Ligue 1 and, more specifically, FC Girondins de Bordeaux. With the second round underway, the team finds itself in a very comfortable pole position with minimal odds for an upset.
The same can be said to some extent in Italy's Serie A where Inter Milan are comfortably in the lead.
There are some leagues, however, where, even though there is a team with a comfortable lead, the team behind them is ready for an upset. This can be said about Spain's La Liga and Super League Greece. In Spain, Real Madrid is keeping its hopes up for arch rivals FC Barcelona to slip up in what could prove to be a very interesting homestretch. In Greece, Olympiakos reduced the difference to 5 points from current leaders Panathinaikos, something which could prove to breath new life into the league.
Overall, the second round of the European Leagues should prove to be interesting and very exciting.
