CHIEVOVERONA v MILAN FUTURO: MATCH PREVIEW

Milan Futuro face a big test on Sunday, travelling to the Stadio Oliveri in Verona to take on ChievoVerona at 18:00 CET on matchday 20 in Serie D (Group B). It's a crucial clash at the upper end of the table, and we break it down in our Match Preview.

LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO
The Rossoneri saw their unbeaten run come to an end with a 1-0 defeat to Pavia. It was a frustrating loss and lacklustre display in Solbiate Arno on the back of a commanding 3-0 victory away to Leon in Vimercate. Massimo Oddo's side sit fifth in the table, level on 31 points with Casatese Merate, firmly in the playoff zone. The team have been in fine form going forward, but defensive improvements are needed. To remain in the upper reaches of the table, the team will need to maintain consistency during a particularly demanding part of the schedule. Off the pitch, Cappelletti recently renewed his contract.

LATEST FROM CHIEVOVERONA
ChievoVerona occupy second place in the table, level on points with Brusaporto. With 34 points, seven adrift of the leaders, they have scored 29 goals, making them - alongside Folgore Caratese, Casatese Merate, and the Rossoneri themselves - the top-scoring team in the league. Marco Didu took over as head coach in mid-December, giving the side a boost after a difficult period. Last weekend, they put in a strong performance, drawing 0-0 at home to high-flying Casatese Merate. The Clivensi are strong, dangerous, and highly motivated also after the high profile addition of Douglas Costa.
