It’s both. With that squad, they realistically belong in the upper midfield. Last year, they had a bad start, and the inexperience of their young squad led to them snowballing into the relegation zone from there, only to be saved by a managerial change and Guirassy returning from injury in the end.
This season they had a good start and snowballed in the other direction, where suddenly everything works.

Crazy looking at a nearly-relegated team from last season in 2nd.
