The promoted Parma welcomed Alberto Gilardino's Genoa club to Emilia-Romagna, on the lawn of the Ennio Tardini stadium. On the one hand, the Ducali wanted to stock up on points against the bottom of the standings. During a balanced game, the two teams failed to find the fault for a long time, before Andrea Pinamonti released his team (79th) in order to validate a success (0-1). In the other match of the multiplex, the other promoted from Como traveled to its Lombard neighbor in Empoli, on the lawn of the Carlo-Castellani stadium.
