Chievo vs Brescia

Gianni De Biasi's Brescia have the chance to catch up Chievo when they visit Bentegodi Stadium on Sunday afternoon and take advantage of Chievo's poor home form. However, De Biasi faces some midfield selection after he sold Antonio Filippini to Serie-B high-flyers Palermo. Antonio, alongsied twin brother Emanuele was sold for the combined total of 2 million Euros in order to boost the club's struggling financial status. With the absence of Filippini brothers, The Rondinelle will have to rely more on veteran Luigi Di Biagio and Roberto Baggio. On the contrast, Chievo have managed to secure the services of Brazilian defender Cesar from Fluminese. Cesar becomes the fourth South American to join the Verona club alongside compatriots Amauri and Luciano plus Argentinian winger Mario Santana. Left wing back Cesar is unlikely to make his debut for Chievo on Sunday although regular left back Salvatore Lanna is suspended. Instead, Marco Malago will replace Lanna who is serving his suspension after picking up a booking during last week's defeat at Bologna. Brescia will look forward to bounce back after their narrow defeat at the hands of Ac Milan which ended their five match unbeaten run. It will require an upturn in Chievo's fortune to get the better of Brescia's solid defence and this match looks likely to settle for a draw. Furthermore, Brescia managed to remain unbeaten in their last two visits to Bentegodi Stadium.
