Serie A regulations provide that the tie on 31 points after 38 days between Hellas Verona and Spezia, eighteenth and seventeenth, respectively, will be resolved in a single match to see which of the two relegated to Serie B. It will be played next Sunday at a neutral ground to be decided this Monday.
Verona’s defeat against Milan (3-1) and Spezia against Roma, with the same result (2-1)) left the two teams tied on points and the novelty of this year’s regulations is if the 1st and 2nd, like 17th and 18th are tied on points, the tiebreaker is not direct rivalries or goal difference, but one game will be played to decide the title or relegation.
Therefore, next week, Spezia and Verona will settle in the same match and on a neutral field, without extra time, directly on penalties if necessary, the last relegation place to join Cremonese and Sampdoria in Serie B .
