For the upcoming 2024-25 Serie A season, a play-off will determine the winner if Napoli and Inter Milan end the season tied on points. Currently, Napoli leads Inter by one point ahead of their final matches. If Napoli loses to Cagliari while Inter draws with Como, they will both end with 79 points and face a decisive match on May 26. The same play-off rules apply for potential relegations, affecting the bottom teams as well. This reintroduced rule adds a new layer of suspense to the competition.
In 2022, Serie A reintroduced a play-off rule for teams finishing level on points, affecting both title races and relegation battles, reshaping competitive dynamics.
Currently, Napoli leads Inter by a single point, and a loss against Cagliari could trigger a decisive play-off match on May 26, emphasizing stakes.
The play-off format, which includes potential two-legged matches for relegation, adds significant drama and uncertainty to both upper and lower echelons of Serie A.
Unlike the Premier League, Serie A's matches during the final weekend are staggered, but Napoli and Inter's matches will begin simultaneously for fairness.
