Sudtirol will welcome Reggina to the Stadio Druso in the preliminary round of the Serie B Playoffs on Friday.
The hosts finished sixth in the league table, eight points ahead of the seventh-placed visitors. They have just one win in their last eight league outings and suffered a 2-1 away defeat against Modena in their final game of the season.
The visitors' quest for a place in the playoffs came down to the wire as Luigi Canotto scored in the fourth minute of added time to secure the crucial three points for his side. Venezia and Palermo dropped points in their final games, which also worked in their favor.
Trending
The hosts qualified for the first time in Serie B this season and have never played in the Italian top flight. The visitors last played in Serie A in 2009.
Either side will have to go through three rounds of qualification to fight for just one spot up for grabs in the Serie A next season.
