Team News
Chievo
Dainelli will miss the match against Roma, so Cesar should take his place in the centre of the defence. Vacek is fighting to earn a place in midfield, and Hetemaj could be the one set to rest to make room for him. Paloschi is favoured once again over Uribe to partner Pellissier up front.
Probable lineups : Sorrentino, Drame, Acerbi, Cesar, Sardo, Hetemaj, Bradley, Luciano, Thereau, Paloschi, Pellissier. (4-3-1-2)
Roma
De Rossi is back available after his suspension and he is likely to play as centre-back together with Heinze. Marquinho should play in midfield, while Grego may start the match on the bench. As Lamela and Osvaldo are both still suspended, Luis Enrique has no option but to field Totti, Borini and Bojan.
Probable lineups : Curci, Rosi, Rossi, Heinze, Taddei, Pjanic, Gago, Marquinho, Totti, Bojan, Borini. (4-3-1-2)

Prediction
Chievo just need one point to obtain official safety, and they may not look for anything more than that against Roma.
Roma are without a win in their last three matches, but the late equaliser against Napoli may have kept their European dreams alive.
Expect the hosts to leave the initiative in Roma's hands, along with ball possession. Roma will have a hard time finding space to score, and Chievo will rely on counter-attacks. This match could be decided by a single spark of magic, or a set piece.
Chievo 0 - 2 Roma
