Serie A Relegation Battle: Shifting Fortunes for Como, Monza, and Roma

Como breathed a sigh of relief with a vital victory against Roma, their first since September 29th. This win, orchestrated by Fabregas, has significantly boosted their chances of avoiding relegation, with their odds improving to 3.50.

In stark contrast, Monza’s situation has worsened. Under Nesta’s leadership, the team’s winless streak continues, pushing them to the bottom of the table following a crucial defeat against Lecce. Their odds of relegation have shortened from 2.25 to 1.90, with only Venezia considered more likely to drop down.

Hellas Verona found some respite with an away win at Parma. This victory has eased the pressure on Zanetti and improved their relegation odds from 1.55 to 1.75. Cagliari (2.75), Lecce (2.50), and Genoa (3.00) are also in the mix, while Parma remains relatively safe at 4.00.

Roma’s fortunes have taken a positive turn under Ranieri’s guidance. Despite being just two points above the relegation zone, bookmakers are confident in their survival, offering long odds of 30 for their relegation. This optimism persists even after their heavy defeat to Como, suggesting a belief in Roma’s ability to climb up the table.

The relegation battle remains intense, with several teams fighting to secure their Serie A status for the next season.
