napoli and genoa have to play eachother so they cant both get maximum points from remaining fixtures..... if 3rd place is 10 points ahead of 4th there is no play offs and top 3 go up
hope that helps...
My math:
Before game 39:
Juve 79
Genoa 73
Napoli 71
If Juve (and Genoa/Napoli) win game 39, they enter game 40 with:
Juve 82
Genoa 76
Napoli 74
Let's say Juve stop winning after that and genoa/Napoli win game 40 and 41:
Juve 82
Genoa 82
Napoli 80
Then if Juve still don't win game 42, and Genoa beat Napoli:
Juve 82
Genoa 85
Napoli 80
--> Juve and Genoa get promoted
If Genoa draw Napoli:
Juve 82
Genoa 82
Napoli 81
__> Juve and Genoa get promoted
If Napoli beat Genoa:
Juve 82
Genoa 82
Napoli 83
So, Juve and Genoa get the same points. Is it because of our outstanding goal difference that we'll get promoted instead of Genoa? Or because Juve beat Genoa in the league match before??
And Mantova are at 61 now, so if they win all the 4 matches thay be at 73 points, meaning Juve wouldn't lead them by 10 points and a ply-off is required??
