Match Preview :

Roma will aim to continue their fine run before Christmas when the Serie A resumes as they welcome Chievo to the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma didn't want the winter break to arrived after they played some good football and finally found some consistency whereby they held Juventus to a creditable draw in Rome before defeating both Napoli and Bologna on their travels.

Roma had loaned Marco Borriello to Juventus but his services will not be greatly missed considering he hardly had featured under Luis Enrique, whilst PSG’s Diego Lugano and Sao Paulo’s Casemiro could be headed their way if the transfer rumours could be believed.

The visitors does have the Serie A third worst attack and sadly their top target Andrea Caracciolo has joined Novara and Alberto Paloschi, who had been linked with a move elsewhere, is reportedly in line to start today.

Chievo did outplay Lazio in a scoreless draw at the Olimpico before the mid season break and ‘keeper Stefano Sorrentino is hoping for a similar performance from his side. The visitors will be hoping to catch Roma off guard or still in their holiday mood.
