Serie A: Como the only winner in the relegation battle, Empoli hopes for the calendar

On the last day of Serie A the only team, among the seven involved in the fight not to be relegated, the winner was the As an. Moreover, Fabregas' eleven is also the most likely to get out of the fray as soon as possible, given also a favorable calendar. Even the last seven days of Verona and Cagliari, respectively two and three points away from the Lariani, are not so impossible and this could also be an advantage for the Azzurri, who on the last day at the Castellani could host the already safe Scaligeri.

In the sprint towards the finish line of D'Aversa's team, the decisive curves could therefore be the direct clashes of Easter with Venezia and the third-to-last day with Parma, both at home. In the closest, in two weeks, there is a high risk of arriving to play it with equal points given that Empoli on Monday is busy with the prohibitive away game in Naples while Di Francesco's team hosts Monza on Saturday. The Brianza team, last at eleven points from safety, are now with one foot in Serie B and Empoli will visit them in the penultimate match.

It goes without saying that beating Venezia is crucial because, barring other surprises, it could allow Empoli to catch up with Parma before the direct clash. Both the dukes and Lecce have in fact a worse schedule on paper, having to challenge most of the teams fighting for Europe.
