Canceled match, Brescia penalized and a lifeline for Sampdoria: What's happening in Serie B? Getty Images

The Serie A season isn't over yet, and the battle in Serie B is just as intense. The crucial relegation playoff between Salernitana and Frosinone was scheduled for Monday, May 19, but the match has been postponed.

Details: According to Italian Football TV, the reason for the postponement is a sanction imposed on Brescia, which has been docked four points. As a result, Frosinone is no longer involved in the play-out and secures its place in Serie B for next season. Meanwhile, Brescia drops straight down to Serie C due to direct relegation.

What's more, an incredible opportunity emerges for Sampdoria. The team had collected 41 points and was set for automatic relegation, but now they'll take Frosinone's place in the play-out. Their opponent will be Salernitana. The dates for these decisive matches have yet to be determined.

Reminder: Pisa has earned direct promotion to Serie A. The club is managed by legendary striker Filippo Inzaghi—the elder brother of Inter boss Simone Inzaghi.

So, next season, fans will once again witness the rivalry between the Inzaghi brothers in Italy's top flight.
