Catania coach Rolando Maran is targeting a victory over Sampdoria to help his side finish above Inter Milan this season.
The Sicilians are just two points behind the faltering Nerazzurri with three games of the season remaining, and despite already achieving their objective for the season of avoiding relegation, Maran wants his team to pull out all the stops for what would be a "prestigious" ending to the campaign.
"Before our game against Siena I heard a lot of murmurings which annoyed me, but we shut everybody up with a performance in line with sporting morals," he said at a press conference.
"I want to see this attitude against Sampdoria too. Delio Rossi's side will be very motivated since they need points to avoid relegation, but we are fighting for a prestigious goal.
"That would be to break into the top eight of the league and we will try to impose ourselves in Genoa."
Sunday's win over Siena took Catania to their highest ever number of points in a season with 51.
"For us, this is like winning the title," said Maran. "I am proud to coach this team."
Samp, meanwhile, have slipped to within six points of the relegation zone and need at least one win from their remaining three matches to be sure of their place in Serie A next season, unless Udinese can do them a hand by beating Palermo on Wednesday night.
"Samp are alive and I saw some positive signals," said their coach Rossi after the 3-1 defeat to Udinese on Sunday.
Rossi has kept his team in a training camp since last Friday to concentrate on an important week.
"It is no punishment at all, it has been agreed on to keep us all united in a moment when it is best we analyse everything together," he said.
Graham Alexander's men finished a disappointing 13th in the table, after appearing to be set for a play-off place for much of the campaign.
One win in their last nine ended any hopes of promotion and the axe has been wielded as the club plan for the 2013-14 campaign.
Youl Mawene's playing contract has been terminated but he will stay at Highbury as a fitness coach.
But fellow defenders Rob Atkinson and Kieran Charnock will leave the club, as will midfielders Anthony Barry, Mozesh Gyorio, Jamie McGuire, Jamie Milligan, Barry Nicholson and Liam Wynn.
Attacking quartet Andy Mangan, Richie Allen, Jean-Michel Fontaine and Danny Rowe complete the released list.
Shaun Beeley and Jamie Allen have had their deals extended by a further year, while Jon Parkin and Gareth Evans are still negotiating with the club after their deals ran out.
New manager Wayne Burnett, who was given the job permanently after completing the season as interim manager, has told Dominic Green, Sam Williams, Kevin Maher, Andy Burns, Duran Reynolds and Tom Davie that they will not be offered extensions when their contracts run out in June, while Ben Strevens and Jonathan Fortune's short-term deals have come to an end.
Burnett told the club's official website: "It was an extremely difficult decision to make but I have a budget to work towards and freeing up these wages will allow me to bring in a couple of my own players for the new season."
Midfielder Green rejoined the club in 2011, after originally leaving for Peterborough in 2007, but managed just 10 league outings this season.
Striker Williams scored 11 goals in 48 appearances during his two-year spell at the club, while midfielder Maher managed just 18 appearances since he arrived from Gillingham in 2011.
Defenders Burns and Reynolds and midfielder Davie all failed to make a first-team appearance at Victoria Road.
Striker Strevens scored once in 14 games after arriving in January while defender Fortune made one substitute appearance after joining in March.
