&lt;p&gt;Only one will remain. Spezia and Hellas Verona go head to head on neutral ground in Reggio Emilia at 20:45 CEST this evening in the relegation decider, which will see one team stay in Serie A TIM and the other go down to Serie B.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spezia are the designated home team given their higher standings. The Aquilotti are unbeaten in their last two games against Verona in Serie A TIM, having taken four points in that time, after three defeats in the four games prior.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;90 minutes of fire await us and, in case it ends level, the game will go straight to penalties, with no extra time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the 13th time that a play-off has been needed to decide which of at least two teams will stay in Serie A TIM, the sixth one-off match. The most recent was in the play-out tournament in 2004/05; the two-legged final between Parma and Bologna was won by the Gialloblù.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most recent one-off game on neutral ground (was at the end of the 1996/97 season when Piacenza beat Cagliari 3-1 in Naples. Only once has the play-off been decided on penalties, in 1994/95 when Padova beat Genoa in the shoot-out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be Hellas Verona’s second play-off in their history. They won their first, beating Reggina at the end of the 2000/01 season. The Scaligeri won 1-0 in the first leg – Laursen with the goal – and then Cossato’s away goal in the second leg meant a 2-1 loss was still enough for Attilio Perotti’s side to stay up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/6483054c/20898012_large.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;20898012_large.jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spezia, who haven’t won away from the Picco under the tenure of Leonardo Semplici, finished the 2022/23 season with 62 goals conceded, their best defensive record in a single Serie A TIM season to date (71 in 2021/22 and 72 in 2020/21).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hellas Verona, meanwhile, picked up 26 of their 31 points in the league in 2022/23 from January onwards. Furthermore, the Gialloblù dropped more points from winning positions than any other team in Serie A TIM in 2022/23: 26, only Nottingham Forest (27) and Troyes (28) have done worse in Europe’s Top-5 leagues this year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Ligurian side will be hoping for a big performance from M’Bala Nzola, who scored 42% of Spezia’s league goals in 2022/23. The Angolan won more points for his side with his goals than any other player in Serie A TIM 2022/23: 16 goals for 13 points.
