Fiorentina out to hold 4th spot - Saturday, 19 April 2008

Fiorentina will be looking to improve their chances of securing fourth spot, and that highly lucrative Champions League position, by winning at home against the sicilians Palermo in the Saturday night game in Serie A. Pressure will be on as main rivals for this position, fifth place AC Milan, host Reggina on Sunday afternoon in what should be a safe 3 points for the Rossoneri.

The Viola boss Cesare Prandelli will have a full squad to choose from with Milan target Seb Frey in goal, and star player Adrian Mutu fit. Giampaolo Pazzini will also need to impress after rumours linking Inter owned forward Adriano with a reunion with Prandelli, with whom he worked with at Parma. Palermo will be without defensive stalwart Andrea Barzagli and 41 year old goalkeeper Alberto Fontana. All eyes will be on Italy, Juventus and Arsenal target Amauri up front, whose form is constantly increasing his price-tag.
