AS Roma vs Chievo Verona Match Preview
Roma's 1-0 loss to Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final mid-week was a timid surrender that put Mirko Vucinic in the spotlight again.
Vucninic missed a golden opportunity to make the score 1-0 very early on by bizarrely tangling himself over the ball. That miss came after his shocking miss last weekend against Palermo, which was even more egregious.
Luckily, Francesco Totti will be starting this game alongside Vucinic, and given the captain's irresistible form, Vucinic may learn a few things.
There was also tension at Roma this week. Coach Vincenzo Montella was involved in a vehement argument with Jeremy Menez during training. Roma have to set things right against Chievo with a win.
Chievo have done reasonably well lately, sitting on 39 points, seven points above safety. A draw would suit their purposes.
Prediction: Roma 0-0 Chievo
