Relegation play-out

[edit]

Format

[edit]

The relegation play-offs (play-out in Italian) were contested over two legs between the teams finishing 16th and 17th in the regular season. The higher-placed team hosted the second leg.

If the teams were level on aggregate score, the lower-placed team in the regular season standings was relegated to Serie C. However, if the two teams finished tied on points in the regular season, extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out were used to determine the winner.
