Cremonese in big trouble, only Lecce realistically within reach

That will be a straight fight between Cremonese and Lecce, but the gap has opened up to four points with just three rounds left to play.

Cremonese hot favourites for relegation

Cremonese’s 2-1 home defeat to Lazio in stoppages leaves them on 28 points, while Lecce are on 32.

Genoa are now mathematically safe on 40 points, while Cagliari and Fiorentina are nine points clear.

At the very most, these teams would go into a play-off, but they can practically breathe easy at this stage.

Going into the final three rounds, Cremonese need to host doomed Pisa, visit Udinese and conclude at home to Como.

Lecce will welcome Juventus, play away to Sassuolo, and their last game is at home with Genoa.

When it comes to Serie A relegation, if two teams are locked together, they go into a play-off over two legs.

If more than two teams are on the same points, then a mini-league is drawn up of their head-to-head results, and the bottom two head into the play-offs.
