“Spezia vs Verona: Potential Relegation Play-Off Set if Teams Finish Level on Points in Serie A”

A duel at a distance, of maximum difficulty and very high tension. And a relegation that may not yet be decreed at the end of the championship. The ninety minutes remaining for Spezia and Verona are not necessarily enough to know the name of the third team that will join Cremonese and Sampdoria in Serie B. The one that obtains a better result than the other will certainly be saved. However, if they get the same result, as in the scenario of finishing on equal points at the top of the standings, a play-off will also be required for the third-last and fourth-last. Both have won 31 points after thirty-seven matchdays, have scored 30 goals (penultimate attack in Serie A) and above all are awaiting a very complicated away match. Semplici’s team will visit Roma, with the Giallorossi who will be returning from the Europa League final, while the Gialloblù will be engaged at San Siro against Milan, who however have already secured qualification for the Champions League. The eventual play-off would take place on Sunday 11 June, one week after the last day of the championship.

LECCE EXCEPT

Lecce, on the other hand, obtained the points they needed in extremis to win salvation, on the Monza field. If he had drawn, he would have been slightly at risk: in the hypothesis, however unlikely, that at the same time he had been defeated by Bologna and Spezia and Verona had won against Rome and Milan, he would have been relegated due to the separate classification. Thanks to Colombo’s penalty, however, there is no longer the need to make all these calculations, because Marco Baroni’s team will be among the protagonists of Serie A for next season as well.
