Everything (or almost everything) in 90 minutes: Serie B is preparing to deliver its verdicts on Matchday 38, with only Venezia already promoted to Serie A. For everyone else, it will be a night of passion and hope, with outcomes intertwined between what happens on their own pitch and what unfolds in the other stadiums.
All matches from Serie B Matchday 38, scheduled for Friday 8 May at 20:30, as well as the playoffs to decide the third team promoted to Serie A, will be available on OneFootball by clicking the link above and following the instructions. An incredible spectacle, with celebrations and meltdowns ready to erupt.
After a sensational and historic duel, Frosinone head into the final matchday with a 3-point lead over Monza. Up until the previous round, the two sides were level, but then an incredible penultimate matchday saw Paolo Bianco’s Brianzoli fall to Mantova in the 94th minute, while the Ciociari won away at Castellammare di Stabia.
Monza have the head-to-head advantage, and to go up to Serie A they have one chance in nine: beat Empoli at home and hope that Mantova, after defeating them, also beat Massimiliano Alvini’s Ciociari.
As for the playoffs, there is still one final spot to be assigned. One of Frosinone and Monza is guaranteed a place, along with Palermo, Catanzaro, Modena and Juve Stabia. At the moment Avellino are eighth, level with Cesena and Mantova, while Carrarese and Sampdoria are also still in the race, albeit with very slim chances.
In the bottom part of the table, remarkably, there are still no verdicts with 90 minutes left, though the situation is almost completely defined. Reggiana, Spezia and Pescara are level on 34 points and, as things stand, would be in Serie C. Bari, who will play away to Catanzaro, are the key factor for the three sides mentioned: if the Biancorossi get a point, it will be Serie C for all three, with Bari going into the playouts.
Be careful, though, with the rules. If Bari lose at Catanzaro and Entella beat Carrarese, the playouts would not take place, since the gap between the fourth-bottom and fifth-bottom teams would be 5 points, sending the bottom four directly down to Serie C.
Sudtirol and Empoli are also still involved, just one point above the playout zone and at risk of having to contest the final showdown.
In short, it will be a crazy matchday full of possible scenarios, and the simultaneous kick-offs will add an extra layer of emotion, just as they did in the penultimate round. Here is the schedule:
Avellino-Modena
Catanzaro-Bari
Cesena-Padova
Frosinone-Mantova
Monza-Empoli
Pescara-Spezia
Reggiana-Sampdoria
Sudtirol-Juve Stabia
Venezia-Palermo
Virtus Entella-Carrarese
