Serie B, Parma officially first, the game for second place is still open. Feralpi in C

After having achieved the arithmetic promotion to Serie A a few days ago, the certainty of first place also arrives for Parma. The victory in Serie B, a competition that the Crociati won for the first time in their history, came thanks to the home draw with Cremonese, thanks to Como’s draw at the same time on the Modena pitch. The Como team, therefore, are unable to close the promotion issue, since Venezia moved to -2 behind the Lombards with the success against FeralpiSalò, which forces the Garda team to mathematical relegation to Serie C. Palermo, Sampdoria and Brescia complete the playoff picture, while there is a big brawl at the end, where Modena is also mathematically safe. At this moment Spezia would also be safe, with Ternana and Ascoli in the playout and Bari relegated. Everything will be decided on the last day. These are the complete results and the updated ranking, after the penultimate round of the regular season:
