While Chievo had a relatively strong start to the season, they have since flustered and have just four points from six rounds.
Dario Dainelli is out injured in defence, but Cyril Thereau is partnered by Alberto Paloschi in a bid to end their run of two consecutive defeats.

German Denis, Maxi Moralez and Giacomo Bonaventura again lead the way, though Riccardo Cazzola, Giulio Migliaccio and Cristiano Del Grosso are sidelined.
It is Davide Brivio and not Lionel Scaloni who is picked to replace Del Grosso in the back four.
