Fiorentina hitman Alberto Gilardino has set his heart on finishing the year in fourth place.
The Viola are currently in fifth place with 30 points, just one point behind Milan and Napoli.
A win over Sampdoria this weekend would allow the Tuscans to finish 2008 in the Champions League qualification places should Napoli stutter at Torino or Milan drop points against Udinese.
“Sunday's encounter should be a brilliant game,” Gilardino told the Corriere dello Sport.
“I hope that we win and that we can end the year in fourth place.
“We are still disappointed that we lost to Torino in the Cup yesterday, but it was just a minor slip-up. We are a great team and we will show that against Samp.”
Sampdoria rely heavily on Gila's former Azzurri youth teammate Antonio Cassano.
“Cassano is an exceptional talent and one of those players who can produce an exceptional moment to turn a game,” Gila stated.
“It's always nice to see him play because I have known him since we were in the Italy Under-15 side.”
