Python solution

Python
import duckdb
import pandas as pd

def solution(team_points: pd.DataFrame, points_change: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
    con = duckdb.connect()
    con.register("TeamPoints", team_points)
    con.register("PointsChange", points_change)
    return con.execute("""WITH
    P AS (
        SELECT team_id, SUM(points_change) AS delta
        FROM PointsChange
        GROUP BY team_id
    )
SELECT
    team_id,
    name,
    CAST(RANK() OVER (ORDER BY points DESC, name) AS SIGNED) - CAST(
        RANK() OVER (ORDER BY (points + delta) DESC, name) AS SIGNED
    ) AS 'rank_diff'
FROM
    TeamPoints
    JOIN P USING (team_id);""").df()
