There are now seven teams battling to avoid being the other two relegated to Serie B along with Salernitana, so we look at their remaining four fixtures.

The Week 34 results shook up the race to stay in Serie A, as Genoa mathematically guaranteed another campaign in the top flight on 42 points.

Lecce are almost there too on 36 following a 1-1 draw with Monza, but Cagliari’s 3-0 loss to Genoa saw their cushion from the relegation zone reduced from four points to just three.

It’s a huge tussle for position with Verona, Frosinone and Empoli all crammed together on 31 points apiece, one behind Cagliari.

The relegation zone begins with Udinese on 29 points, then Sassuolo are in real trouble on 26 and have a very difficult run-in.

Salernitana are rock bottom on 15 and already doomed to the drop.

There are four rounds left to play and Sassuolo have arguably the toughest run-in, but there are still several head-to-head clashes that could prove decisive.
