Under Stefano Pioli, the Nerazzurri have put together four consecutive Serie A victories to climb back into contention for Europe.
“We are facing Inter during their best period of form, as Pioli has given a positive identity to the squad and found the right balance,” said Maran in his Press conference.
“However, we will be tough to beat. I expect my team to follow up the performance in Florence, while hoping to be a bit luckier. Even if we were up against a strong side, we proved that we are in good shape too.”
Chievo went out of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday to a last-gasp Federico Bernardeschi penalty, having played most of the second half down to 10 men.
It was another heavy blow to the Verona side after last week’s shock 4-1 home defeat to Atalanta in Serie A.
“We are convinced that was just a blip, but we’ve got to prove it on the pitch. There was a reaction against Fiorentina and we must find the performances we always had.”
Perparim Hetemaj, Gennaro Sardo, Nicola Rigoni and Fabrizio Cacciatore have not made the trip to Milan.
Chievo squad for Inter: Sorrentino, Bressan, Confente; Spolli, Gamberini, Gobbi, Frey, Cesar, Dainelli; Radovanovic, Birsa, Castro, Bastien, De Guzman, Izco, Depaoli, Kiyine; Pellissier, Inglese, Meggiorini, Floro Flores
