Preview: Juventus vs. Chievo

Juventus vs. Chievo

Juventus will be confident of a 12th consecutive home league win when they host struggling Chievo on Sunday.

The Bianconeri can stretch their lead at the top of the Serie A table to 12 points ahead of Roma's match against Sampdoria later that evening.

They are currently on a 15-match unbeaten run and are firm favourites to seal their third successive Scudetto this season.

Chievo meanwhile, travel to the Juventus Stadium just a single point above the relegation zone.

They have been in poor form recently and suffered a 3-0 defeat against Udinese last weekend, to make it nine league games without a win.

Juventus are without the injured Giorgio Chiellini and Mirko Vucinic, while Andrea Barzagli returns after missing last weekend's 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona.

Chievo defender Dario Dainelli has failed to overcome an injury and will not travel to Turin, while Bostjan Cesar is suspended.
