Italian Serie A: Chievo v Roma Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Friday 08^th of February 2018 (Kick-off 7:30 PM)

On Friday night, Chievo host Roma in Serie A, as the visitors look to move back into the Champions League spots in the Italian top-flight.

Both teams are desperate for maximum points for very different reasons, as the home side are rock bottom of the table, while Roma are fifth spot looking to move into the top-four.

Chievo are nine points away from safety after a terrible campaign in Serie A. The team from Verona have won just once in their last 21 league outings. Last time out, they at least picked up a point drawing 2-2 at fellow strugglers Empoli.

Conceding too many goals has been the home side’s biggest weakness of late, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five league matches.

Top Football Bookmakers

Roma are currently five matches unbeaten in Serie A. However, the Giallorossi have drawn their last two league games against AC Milan and Atalanta. A 1-1 draw against Milan last time out stop a potent run of form in front of goal for the Romans, who had scored at least two goals in their previous four league outings.

One negative for the visitors heading into this game is that they have won just one of their last seven away matches in Serie A.

Prediction

Away win and/or over 2.5 goals
