6️⃣th - @BresciaOfficial, currently 3pts off the pace
Unbeaten in 7, their remaining games are against mid-table teams with little to fight for (2 at home)
At least 7 points, and maybe even 9, from those games seems feasible
A reasonable outside bet

5️⃣th - @PisaSC, currently 2pts off promotion spots
A tougher run-in against teams fighting at both ends of the table
Their next match Away to 2nd place Lecce is crucial - win that and it’s on!
Remember: H2H, not GD used to resolve ties

4️⃣th - @bncalcio, currently trailing by 2pts
On a decent run of form, Benevento travel to 3rd place Monza in 2 weeks time - that feels like a must-win game if they are to seal auto promotion
Other remaining fixtures at home to mid table teams are highly winnable

3️⃣rd - @acmonza, currently 1pt off the pace
Yesterday’s draw with rivals Brescia was a missed opp to leapfrog Lecce
Berlusconi’s men have the toughest run in; they need to avoid defeat against Benevento AND get results away to play-off contenders Frosinone (8th) & Perugia (9th)

2️⃣nd - @OfficialUSLecce, in the auto spots & 1pt off the summit
A wobble at Reggina in the last round set them back, but a win/draw at home to Pisa in the next round will see them on their way
In their other games they play 2 of the bottom 3, so *should* score maximum pts there

1️⃣st - @USCremonese, currently 1 pt clear at the top
Their biggest remaining test is a home game against 7th place Ascoli. Games away to Crotone & Como look winnable on paper
Team built on loan signings from #SerieA, major rebuild needed IF they go up

🤔 Summary:
No doubt that Cremonese and Lecce are in the box seats
Much will hinge on the Lecce v Pisa and Monza v Benevento games. Cagey draws a distinct possibility!
But #SerieB is never short of drama, so we should fully expect some unexpected slip-ups along the way...
