"The League Council, held this morning, unanimously established that the Serie A TIM calendar will have an asymmetrical second round in the sequence of matches compared to the first round.
The new format, already in force in other leagues such as the Premier League, La Liga and Ligue1, will have a particular novelty compared to the other nations that have adopted it, with the return matches totally different from the first legs, both in order, both as a composition within the same shift.
The new formula will allow for a better distribution of matches, not conditioned in this way by constraints present in the first leg that can fall on the same day as the return leg and vice versa.
The only criterion imposed on the draw will be that a match will not have its return until another 8 matches have been played.”
