Livorno on the brink of relegation after Chievo defeat

Published Sun, Apr 18 10 12:30 AM

Serie A bottom side Livorno are on the brink of relegation after losing 2-0 at Chievo Verona on Saturday.

Sergio Pellissier drilled a diagonal strike inside the near post to put the hosts ahead in the 28th minute shortly after being denied a strong penalty claim for a push in the back as he was about to shoot.

Elvis Abbruscato touched the ball home from close range to wrap up the victory two minutes from time.

Livorno have 26 points with four games left to play, nine points less than Bologna in the safety zone before the fourth-bottom side visit Udinese on Sunday (1300 GMT).

Chievo, in contrast, look to have top-flight survival in the bag after a win that puts them 12th, 10 points above the drop zone.

AS Roma meet city rivals Lazio on Sunday (1630) needing a win to restore a one-point lead at the top of the table over champions Inter Milan, who beat Juventus 2-0 on Friday.
