Frosinone and Palermo go into today’s six-pointer knowing defeat or even a draw could doom them to relegation.
It kicks off at 11.30 UK time (10.30 GMT) at the Matusa, click here for a match preview.

These sides represent two of the bottom three, as Hellas Verona are practically relegated into Serie B already, so there’s no more time to lose.
Frosinone need to shake off their midweek 5-1 defeat to Chievo, a game they ended with nine men on the pitch.
Arlind Ajeti and Raman Chibsah are suspended – the latter beginning a three-match ban – while Paolo Sammarco and Federico Dionisi are back from injury. Their condition is still doubtful, meaning they will only start from the bench.
Daniel Ciofani again leads the attack and hopes to build on Frosinone’s decent home record.
Palermo have considerable problems after nine different changes of management, as Davide Ballardini is on his second spell at the club.
Amid all that chaos it’s unsurprising that the Rosanero haven’t won a Serie A game since January 24, managing just five draws from 13 rounds.
Aljaz Struna and Roberto Vitiello are suspended. They have Achraf Lazaar back from his ban, but he will not be fielded as a starter.
These sides only met once before, a 4-1 Palermo victory on December 12 – that was also Ballardini’s first win on the Sicilian bench.
Frosinone: Leali; Rosi, Russo, Blanchard, Pavlovic; Soddimo, Gori, Gucher; Paganini, D Ciofani, Kragl
