The Serie A title race may be all but decided, with Inter Milan clinching their 21st Scudetto, but the real drama is unfolding at the other end of the table. A gripping relegation battle is keeping fans on the edge of their seats as four teams—Fiorentina, Cremonese, Lecce, and Genoa—fight tooth and nail to avoid the drop. With only one spot left to escape relegation, every match feels like a cup final.

Two teams have already been mathematically condemned to Serie B: Pisa and Hellas Verona. Their fate is sealed, but for the remaining quartet, the stakes couldn't be higher. The tension is palpable, and predicting who will survive is no easy task. For fans looking to add some extra excitement, mobile betting apps offer a convenient way to place wagers on the outcome, with free bets available to limit potential losses if their chosen team falls short in this high-stakes mission.

What’s dragging these teams into danger? A glaring defensive fragility. In a league traditionally known for its tactical solidity, the bottom dwellers are leaking goals at an alarming rate. Pisa and Verona are tied at the foot of the table, and their hopes of escape are virtually nonexistent—together, they’ve managed fewer than five wins as April reaches its midpoint. You simply can’t survive with such a meager points tally.

Offensively, the numbers tell a similar story. Verona and Pisa have scored just 24 and 25 goals respectively in 35 matches—a woeful return. Lecce have also managed only 24, while Cremonese have found the net 27 times. Fiorentina and Genoa have fared better, with the Viola netting 38 goals and Genoa 40. But their real weakness lies at the back. According to Opta Analyst data, Pisa have conceded a staggering 63 goals—the worst defensive record in the league and the root cause of their lowly position. Cremonese have shipped 53, Verona 57, Lecce 47, Fiorentina 49, and Genoa 48. All are among the highest totals in Serie A.

For Pisa, Verona, and Genoa, the goals they’ve conceded far exceed what expected goals models predict—a critical stat when assessing relegation favorites. While Pisa and Verona are already doomed, Genoa still have a fighting chance. The Grifone boast a stronger squad and the attacking firepower to claw their way to safety. With the right performances, they can avoid joining the drop zone. In this nail-biting finale, every tackle, every save, and every goal could be the difference between survival and despair.
