“We are in a positive period of form and working well, focusing on our principles of concentration and sacrifice for the team,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

The Flying Donkeys are having their best campaign for many years and have already secured their Serie A safety, something that cannot be said for Carpi.

“We celebrated this week with our fans, but have to retain our intensity, because Carpi make that one of their key strengths.

“Chievo have been performing beyond expectations for a year now, so it’s not just a positive moment of form. This should give us the self-belief to maintain this standard.

“The fact we are approaching the end of a season played well above par does not mean we should lack hunger or desire to improve further.

“You always need motivation in football and this would be our third consecutive victory, so we need to concentrate on that target.”

Dario Dainelli and Simone Pepe are out of action, while Nicolas Spolli requires a fitness test.

Mariano Izco and Alessandro Gamberini are back in the squad following lengthy lay-offs.

Chievo squad for Carpi: Bizzarri, Bressan, Seculin; Spolli, Gamberini, Cesar, Gobbi, Sardo, Frey, Cacciatore; Rigoni, Pinzi, Radovanovic, Izco, Castro, Birsa, Costa, Hetemaj; Pellissier, Mpoku, Inglese, Meggiorini, Floro Flores
