The purpose of this study is to help small clubs from Italian Serie A in finding the minimum targets to avoid relegation into Serie B competition (below Serie A league). Relegation will reduce the club’s income from TV revenues and the decline of enthusiastic supporters. Based on the data from the final standings (seasons 2006 until 2018), this can be explained by the Decision Tree method using the C4.5 algorithm. The methods used in this study are data collection, data pre-processing, model proposal, model testing, and model validation. In this study, it is expected that the value of accuracy exceeds 85% to achieve a proper classification.
