Atalanta
Gian Piero Gasperini has a full squad to pick from and is expected to go with his best XI despite a midweek defeat to Juventus.
Chievo
Lucas Castro and Roberto Inglese are both working to recover from their injuries, with the latter expected to make it in time for this match.
However, they will not want to rush Castro's return and don't need to as Rolando Maran is available.
Samuel Bastien and Fabrizio Cacciatore are both banned for the away side this weekend.
