Chievo form and stats

Chievo, who have the most conceded goals (61) in Serie A, have only collected 6 points from their away games after 0-6-9 (15 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Chievo have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 15 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Fiorentina game. Chievo are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Frosinone fixture.

Chievo play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Sassuolo. A 0-3 loss hosting Cagliari before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Chievo as they have only managed to score 9 times from 15 away games. Chievo have conceded 32 goals in these games.
