Coefficients Table
To determine the sowing of the teams classified to the playoff phase, a table of coefficients is used, in which the points obtained are divided between the matches played. Generally, this same table is used to determine the team relegated to Serie B, however, in the 2019–2020 season the category relegation was suspended.P | Team | Pts | G | Pts/G | GD |
