Team News

Chievo
  • Sammarco is back from his suspension, and he may give some rest to Thereau supporting Paloschi and Pellissier.
  • Jokic and Mandelli trained apart from the rest of the team, and their availability is still in doubt.
  • Hetemaj is working hard to get a spot in the starting squad.
Catania
  • Montella has most of his players available, and he is likely to stick with his typical XI.
  • The only changes he could make may involve Bellusci and Seymour in defence and midfield.
  • Lanzafame is also eager to play, but the attacking trio looks untouchable.

Prediction

  • With the unexpected win in Florence, Chievo virtually achieved safety (there are 11 points and 7 teams between them and relegation zone), so the team has nothing more to fight for in this championship. Di Carlo may do some experimenting ahead of the next season.
  • Catania also look pretty safe and the fight for the European spots will be very tough to be part of, but as they showed before, playing with no pressure has helped the team collect some extra points this season, so they may come to Verona to do the same.
  • Both teams have the chance to play open football, caring more about entertainment than the final outcome. But as Chievo's playing style has always been very defensive, Catania may have to take the initiative and keep possession. As they are usually pretty good at counter-attacking, this will be an interesting game from the tactical side. In the end, the two teams may settle with a point.
