Sandwiched between the two Champions League semi final matches against Liverpool, Roma take on Chievo in Serie A tomorrow night.
Roma are looking to complete a third straight league victory after overcoming Genoa and SPAL recently. Tomorrow's opponents Chievo are involved in a relegation battle, just two points above 18th place. They are without a win in five games - and with sides below them gaining some momentum, need to pick up all the points they can get. The last time they faced Roma, it was a 0-0 draw, memorable for an amazing Stefano Sorrentino performance in goal. The Giallorossi will be hoping they can breach him this time around, as they look to tighten their grip on third place. Eusebio Di Francesco may opt to rest players ahead of Wednesday's second leg with Liverpool, in the hope that his side can pull off another miracle. Therefore, there could be opportunities for the likes of Patrik Schick, who scored his first Serie A goal for Roma against SPAL, and Maxime Gonalons, who came on as a substitute on Tuesday. Two players who featured in the first leg are injured for the Chievo game. Kevin Strootman and Diego Perotti are both absent from the squad. Jonathan Silva and Bogdan Lobont, who were both ineligible for the Champions League match, return to the setup. Kick off is at 5pm UK time tomorrow.
