I don't think Chievo will be as strong as the last 2 seasons, many important players have left, like: Corini (captain), Marazzina, Luciano, Lupatelli and Legro while other youngsters fill-in. Their spirit however is still there with coach Del Neri around.
Chievo didn't impress against Bologna in the opening week (1-1), but this will be their home debut in this season and maybe they will improve. They always play well against big teams. Anyway, I think of our 3 owned Chievo players (Paro, Gastaldello, and Sculli) only Sculli will be playing against us.
Lippi might rest some players since we will be playing Galatasaray 3 days later in the Delle Alpi.
