When two Serie A teams are level on points, the order is decided not by goal difference, but on head-to-head records.

This is often crucial in the relegation battles and if three or more sides have the same number of points, a mini-league is worked out on their results against each other.

“SPAL are unbeaten in seven rounds, you can see they are in good shape, but we have turned a corner in recent weeks as well.

“We’ve got to confirm and build on the solidity of the last few matches, giving it even more courage and a clinical edge.”

Mattia Bani is suspended following his red card in the draw with Torino, but Emanuele Giaccherini returns from his ban.

Chievo squad for SPAL: Sorrentino, Seculin, Confente; Cacciatore, Cesar, Dainelli, Depaoli, Gamberini, Jaroszynski, Tomovic; Bastien, Birsa, Castro, Gaudino, Giaccherini, Hetemaj, Radovanovic, Rigoni; Inglese, Leris, Meggiorini, Pellissier, Pucciarelli, Stepinski
