Who will make it?

With those upcoming matches Siena is as good as done

[Arquitecto]

Palermo
Siena
Pescara

Genoa are gaining momentum and Torino are one of the most stubborn teams I have seen. Ogbonna has nearly single-handedly saved them from being along the likes of Pescara whether full-back or CB.

I sincerely hope Palermo can GTFO since I despite Zamp and want Miccoli to move anywhere else.

Siena I don't want gone since their outer surroundings of the stadio are just too beautiful to be relegated to B.

I don't want Palermo to get relegated

Torino are in awful form, of the last 5 matches they've earned only 1 point. It's entirely possible they'll bottle this.

Even if Torino doesn't manage another point though, Palermo would have to get 5 pts from Udinese Fiorentina and Parma..

No way

[juventus101]

I could see Palermo beating Parma and Udinese. They've played well recently, beating Inter and puttting up a good fight against by far the best team in the league. Siena is obviously going to get relegated, but the other one is between Torino and Palermo in my opinion. Either one though I think would win the relegation playoff.

[Firenze]

Palermo are going down. Will Zamparini sell up if so?

They have a few good talents like Ilicic, Dybala, right? interested to see where they will end up. I like Palermo, but that's mainly for Miccoli. Hope he gets a chance to stay in the league, but will probably head to Arabia like he has been close to doing the past couple of seasons.

[Milantildeath]

Palermo and Siena are going to be relegated. I hate Zamparini, total clown. Plus, Josip Ilicic will be hot property, I'd like to see him at Milan.

[Eivindo]

He should have sold Palermo when he had the chance, tried to pull another Pastore

[AltoZ]

What about the promotion battle?

Hellas Verona and Livorno - 2 of the biggest cult-clubs in Italy.

[Juveman17]

Reggina and Avelino are in Serie B together

[Milantildeath]

I'd really like to see Hellas Verona back in Serie A. Funny thing about them and Chievo is that Chievo was the outcast team and Hellas Verona supporters sang a song saying Chievo would make it to Serie A once Donkey's flew, hence the nickname "flying donkeys".

[Kaladin]

I want Siena to be in Serie A , Emeghara has pulled through for Milan countless times now

[McAgger]

I just hope Samp and Torino stay up. Don't really care about the rest.

[Kaladin]

Need Genoa to whore themselves to us for a bit

Also, free 6 points so why not

[dostoevsky]

If Siena didn't have a 6 point penalty they'd probably still be able to pull themselves out of this, however they are surely now doomed, which is unfortunate. I hope they bounce straight back up.

I will revel in seeing Palermo relegated, I really don't want to see Genoa go down as I adore the city, however if they do, we should be able to make them our effective reserve team in Serie B to give some of our youngsters experience. They have four points over Palermo however, and with the Sicilians playing Fiorentina next I expect the relegation battle to be settled with a round to go, though for once I would like Palermo to do us a favour and take a point from Montella's charges. I hope this has been a real wake up call for Genoa, they've let a talented side that qualified for Europe a few years ago disintegrate with no real plan for the future, for bringing through youngsters or giving time to a talented manager. The fans deserve better and hopefully we see a turn around next season.

[McAgger]

Yeah seems like the relegation battle is settled. Palermo play Parma and Viola, and they are 4 points off. I don't see anyway for them. And Siena play Milan and Napoli, and they are 6 points off. As good as relegated. Both Genoa and Torino have easier finishes.

[Forza]

Genoa survives so they can continue to feed us players!

Imagine if they had not sold us SES, or KPB...

[BarrileteCosmico]

Good riddance Palermo, make sure to sell Dybala and Munoz to better teams

[Juveman17]

Palermo

[McAgger]

It's good that Genoa survived. They were a pretty strong team not long ago.
