Gian Piero Gasperini (genoa) has a lengthy injury list to contend with. Bosko Jankovic, Chico, Houssine Kharja, Ivan Fatic, Luca Toni and Raffaele Palladino are all unable to play. In contrast, Chievo have only Marcos De Paula out.
With Toni out the key scoring threat for Genoa becomes Giuseppe Sculli. With his summer move to Inter collapsing at the death he may be suffering a hangover sulk after the two clubs failed to agree on a suitable price, conversely the bitter disappointment may drive him on to show Inter what they could have had for a few Euros more. It will be interesting to watch his body language, even if he has since come out and called Genoa his 'home'.
There is no starting place for new Chievo signing Gelson Fernandes. The Swiss international arrived on loan from French outfit Saint Etienne, but we will have to wait and see whether he makes his debut from the bench in this encounter.
Keep an eye on: Sergio Pellissier (Chievo) - Always a dangerman, the Chievo striker has already opened his account for 2010-11 and you can guarantee if the Flying Donkeys nick this one by one goal it will be Sergio who nabs it.
Genoa (probable): Eduardo; Ranocchia, Dainelli, Moretti; Rafinha, Milanetto, Veloso, Criscito; Rossi, Sculli, Palacio
Chievo (probable): Sorrentino; Sardo, Andreolli, Cesar, Mantovani; Luciano, Rigoni, Marcolini; Bentivoglio; Moscardelli, Pellissier
For me, this game no bet....see more
