A goal from Marco Andreolli has given Inter Milan a 1-0 lead over Chievo in their final Serie A match of the season.
The hosts started strongly and were inches away from taking the lead in the 10th minute when Alberto Paloschi met Simone Bentivoglio's cross before heading against the bar.
On the half-hour mark Chievo were denied by the woodwork again as Dejan Lazarevic's shot beat Juan Carrizo but came back off the post.
Inter struggled to create any goalscoring opportunities before Saphir Taider came close with a volleyed effort from the edge of the box that sailed just wide.
With four minutes of the first half remaining, Inter took the lead as Andreolli smashed home a loose ball from inside the box following Chievo's failure to clear a free kick.
