Chievo vs Fiorentina Prediction and Preview – 30/04/16
Serie A preview – Chievo vs Fiorentina prediction.
Chievo centre-back Nicolas Spolli is suspended and Bostjan Cesar is expected to partner Alessandro Gamberini in central defence. Rolando Maran has no new injury concerns following Sunday’s defeat at Atalanta and has full-back Nicholas Frey close to recovering from a thigh problem. Fellow defenders Dario Dainelli and Frederico Mattiello won’t be seen for the rest of the season as they are recovering from long-term injuries.
Secondary striker Josip Ilicic and central midfielder Matias Vecino are the main injury concerns for Fiorentina boss Paulo Sousa. Ilicic was substituted early in the second half against Juventus last weekend with a hamstring strain and Vecino is recovering from a similar problem suffered prior to the game. Centre-back Yohan Benalouane is gaining fitness following a back injury and striker Khouma Babacar remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
