As for 4th, a draw in Palermo leaves Sampdoria with a 2 point lead ahead of Palermo, and quite frankly, 3 points behind a pitiful Milan who would shock no one by getting leapfrogged. Atalanta also made their relegation official by losing to Napoli. They will join Siena and Livorno in Seire B.
Match of the Week:
Chievo @ Inter 3-4: Thiago Motta og 12 (C), Mantovani og 13 (I), Cambiasso 34 (I), Milito 39 (I), Balotelli 52 (I), Granoche 60 (C), Pellissier 74 (C)
Obviously no one is surprised that Inter won but they very nearly let it slip away. Going down in the 12th muntes through an own goal, then nearly blowing a 3-goal lead. Luckily it was Chievo they were playing. Shades of Zlatan shown in Eto'o's great effort to cause the og and Milito's beautiful chip goal.
(My Prediction: 0-2 Inter)
Standings...
Atalanta @ Napoli 0-2: Quagliarella 42, 83 (N)
Quagliarella returns from his 3-match ban with two goals. That's about all there was. You would've though Atalanta was already relegated. They are now.
(My Prediction: 0-1 Napoli)
Bari @ Udinese 3-3: Barreto 18 (B), Di Natale, 63 21 (U), Pepe 27 (U), Koman 40 (B), Almiron 93 (B)
What a season for Antonio Di Natale, sure to be Capocanoniere (league's top scores) with his now 28 goals. With neither clubs having nothing left to play for, this was still a highly entertaining match.
(My Prediction: 1-1)
Cagliari @ Roma 1-2: Lazzari 73 (C), Totti 79, pen 83 (R)
Scary stuff for Roma fans late in the match. Down 1-0, couldn't have imagined that a win was likely. And so the dream continues to the very last day.
(My Prediction: 0-1 Roma)
Catania @ Bologna 1-1: Di Vaio 15 (B), Maxi Lopez 51 (C)
Another match with not a whole lot left in it. Both clubs secure for another season the top flight.
(My Prediction: 3-2 Catania)
Lazio @ Livorno 2-1: Rocchi 13 (La), Lucarelli 33 (Li), Brocchi 44 (La)
Lazio can finally lay this ugly season to rest.
(My Prediction: 2-1 Lazio)
Milan @ Genoa 0-1: Sculli 57 (G)
This match was played with no fans due to fears of extreme violence between "fans" of both clubs. There's an apparently ugly history between the two, with I believe a Genoa fan stabbed to death outside the stadium some years back. Nonetheless, Milan have some domestic issues to deal with this summer, let alone leaving it to the last day to secure third spot and automatic qualification for the CL.
(My Prediction: 2-1 Milan)
Parma @ Juventus 3-2: Del Piero 16 (J), Lanzafame 19, 40 (P), Biabiany 85 (P), Iaquinta 93 (J)
Only one match left, Juve fans. Big ups to Parma for a great return season to Serie A.
(My Prediction: 1-3 Juve)
Sampdoria @ Palermo 1-1: Pazzini pen 54 (S), Miccoli pen 67 (P)
So much drama leading into this one, its a neither came out on top, according to the scoresheet at least. Sampdoria just about locked up the 4th and final CL spot with this result.
(My Prediction: 3-2 Sampdoria)
Siena @ Fiorentina 1-1: Vergassola 3 (S), Marchionni 16 (F)
A season to forget for the clubs from Firenza. Two of them (Siena and Livorno) are relegated and Fiorentina fall way short of any European qualification spot.
(My Prediction: 0-2 Fiorentina)
