Promotions Despite the large deficit at the start of the league,
Juventus coasted through the season with ease and became the first team promoted to the
Serie A for the 2007–08 season with a 5–1 away win at
SS Arezzo on 19 May 2007, with three games remaining in the schedule. One week later, they clinched the title of Serie B champions for 2006–07 with a 2–0 home win against
Mantova 1911. Juventus were awarded the first-ever
Ali della Vittoria (Wings of Victory) Cup, designed this year for the winner of the Serie B championship. On the last day of the season
Napoli played
Genoa. Napoli only needed a draw for automatic promotion, while Genoa needed a win to guarantee promotion. The match ended 0–0 and Napoli were promoted. However,
Piacenza only managed a 1–1 draw with Triestina, leaving it ten points behind Genoa. A gap of ten or more points between the third and fourth-placed teams meant that no playoffs would be held, and Genoa became the third team promoted to Serie A. Both Napoli and Genoa were promoted from Serie C1 to Serie B, and from Serie B to Serie A in successive seasons.
Relegations On 12 May 2007
Pescara became the first team relegated to
Serie C1 for the 2007–08 season with a 3–1 loss at
Piacenza on Day 38 of the schedule. One week later,
Crotone was also relegated with a 2–0 loss at
Trieste. On the last match day,
Arezzo became the third team relegated despite winning 3–1 at
Treviso, as both
Spezia and
Hellas Verona won their games. Tied 2–2 with
Juventus, Spezia was only seconds away from relegation, but a dramatic goal on the 91st minute by
Nicola Padoin condemned Arezzo and qualified Spezia for the playoffs. The fourth team to be relegated was decided in a two-legged playoff between Verona and Spezia. The first leg ended in a 2–1 win for Spezia, and a 0–0 tie in the return match condemned Verona to play Serie C1 in the 2007–08 season. == Teams ==
