Serie B fixtures drawn

The fixtures have finally been drawn for Serie B 2018-19, which will have only 19 teams this season.

Avellino, Cesena and Bari have all failed to register for the new season, and the Lega Serie B has opted not to replace them.

That led to legal challenges and recriminations, with the drawing of today’s fixtures delayed by over an hour.

The FIGC finally gave the go-ahead to draw the fixtures though, with an odd number of teams meaning there will be one side given a rest day every week.
