There was some chatter of sending Fiorentina down to the dungeon and, just eyeballing this quickly...
(0-0 with Parma as I write this) - if they were to lose today, they would be on 40 points, three clear of Genoa. Parma would be up to 41 points and jump them into 13th. Fiorentina would be tied on points with Bologna (game in hand) and Udinese (Fiorentina win the head-to-head) and be in 14th place after today. More importantly, however, is that next week's final round, among other fixtures, includes Fiorentina playing Genoa at the Artemio Franchi. The first game was a draw.
Thus, a scenario exists where, if Genoa beats Fiorentina (40 each, Genoa tiebreaker), Udinese and Bologna each get at least one more point this year, and Empoli wins next week as well (41 points)
pokerface, that Fiorentina would be the team that drops.
I guess, for obvious reasons, we can't root for that to happen, but the scenario exists nonetheless.
