Fiorentina is three points above the relegation

FLORENCE, ITALY – Fiorentina is three points above the relegation places after being held to a 0-0 draw at home by Palermo.

A run of one win in six games has the Viola sitting dangerously close to the drop zone, but the hosts will feel unlucky not to take all three points from Wednesday’s game.

Matija Nastasic saw his first-half header hit the post for Fiorentina before Amauri thought he had won the game for the hosts nine minutes from time, only to have his goal called back for a handball.
