After Cagliari secured their safety in the penultimate round of the championship, today Verona, Parma, Lecce, Empoli, and Venezia will have their last chance to avoid relegation to Serie B.

With Monza already relegated, two spots remain. Empoli and Verona will face off in a direct clash, while Venezia and Lecce, taking on Juventus and Lazio respectively, are chasing a miracle. Parma is closer to staying in Serie A, but Atalanta, despite having already secured a Champions League spot, offers no guarantees.

🔴 VENEZIA-JUVENTUS 1-0

❌ Alberto Costa's missile, but VAR cancels the goal

Juventus finds the equalizer after five minutes, but Alberto Costa’s powerful strike is disallowed due to a handball by the Portuguese player. Venezia remains in the lead.

🤯 Fila scores after 1': Juventus trailing in Venice!

Just one minute passes at the Penzo and Venezia immediately takes the lead against Juventus. Shocking twist: Daniel Fila’s goal gives Di Francesco’s boys hope, as they would be third from last while waiting for the other results.

RANDOM STAT: This is the second Serie A goal for the Czech Republic striker: the first was scored against Monza, but this one is of fundamental importance.

👀 You get relegated to Serie B if… all the combinations

The most complicated situation concerns Venezia: to hope for survival, Di Francesco’s team will have to pull off a feat—beat Juventus and count on both Lecce and Empoli losing.

The Tuscans will face an almost-safe Verona. The Salentini, on the other hand, will be engaged in a tough away match at the Olimpico against Lazio. In the event of a tie on points, a playoff will be necessary to determine who will be relegated.

Despite having 33 points, Parma is also at risk: a defeat against Atalanta, combined with wins by Empoli and Lecce, would sensationally send the Ducali down to Serie B.
