Frosinone Calcio currently sit second in the table after a tight battle with Monza for the second automatic promotion spot. Frosinone strengthened their position with a 1-0 away win over Juve Stabia, while Monza suffered a 3-2 defeat to Mantova.

The result leaves Frosinone needing just one point in the final round to confirm their return to Serie A.

At the bottom of the table, Reggiana have been mathematically relegated to Serie C, while Spezia and Pescara remain locked on 34 points, still fighting to avoid the drop.
