Serie A: Who goes down between Frosinone, Udinese and Empoli?

There is now only one relegation spot left going into the final round of the season, as it is between Empoli, Udinese and Frosinone.

Salernitana have already been relegated for some time, while Sassuolo joined them following the 2-0 home defeat to Cagliari on Sunday.

Hellas Verona won 2-1 away to Salernitana this evening and took themselves to safety on 37 points alongside Lecce, while Cagliari are also secure on 36.

We go into the final round this weekend with Frosinone on 35 points, Udinese 34 and Empoli 33.

Sky Sport Italia calculate that Empoli have a 55 per cent chance of getting relegated, compared to 22 per cent for Udinese and 11 per cent for Frosinone.

It is also possible we could see a relegation play-off between Empoli and Udinese, so there is an 11 per cent chance of that happening.

If two teams are level on points in third from bottom, then they go into a two-legged play-off.

What the teams need for Serie A safety

Because Udinese and Frosinone face each other in the final round, the only possible play-off would be between Udinese and Empoli.

In order to survive, Empoli need to either draw with Roma and hope Udinese lose, or beat Roma and leapfrog at least one of the other two.

Frosinone can afford to draw and still guarantee safety, because it would put them on 36 points and Udinese on 35.
