Udinese, Venezia, and Monza occupy the bottom three spots after 11 matchdays in the 2026-27 Serie A, separated by just a few points from Sassuolo and Parma in a congested relegation fight. Udinese sit last on five points with a leaky defense, while Venezia and Monza have managed only isolated wins amid heavy defeats. Sassuolo's recent sacking of manager Alberto Aquilani after five straight losses and 29 goals conceded underscores defensive fragility and instability among the candidates. Lecce and Fiorentina hover just above, making the group highly competitive. Upcoming fixtures, squad depth, and any further coaching shifts will shape the survival battle as teams aim for the roughly 35-39 points typically needed to stay up.
