LAST MEETING

November 21, 2010: Chievo 2-1 Inter

The Flying Donkeys soared to an unlikely victory as they punctured the Inter defence twice in Verona. Sergio Pellissier opened the scoring in the 29th minute before Davide Moscardelli doubled the home side's advantage in the second half.

Samuel Eto'o scored a late goal but many will remember the game for the Cameroon striker's headbutt on Chievo defender Bostjan Cesar.

PROBABLE LINE-UPS

Inter: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Ranocchia, Lucio, Nagatomo; Zanetti, Thiago Motta; Cambiasso; Sneijder, Milito, Eto'o

Chievo: Sorrentino; Sardo, Andreolli, Mandelli, Montovani; Fernandes, Rigoni, Constant; Bogliacino; Pellissier, Moscardelli

Prediction
Inter are reeling right now after heavy losses to Milan in Serie A and Schalke in the Champions League. The Nerazurri are vulnerable at the moment but should be able to stop the bleeding with a slim win over Chievo at San Siro.
Inter Milan 1-0 Chievo
