Chievo vs Udinese preview - Udinese in pole for fourth

Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin has warned the battle to finish fourth in Serie A will go down to the wire.

Guidolin's men travel to Verona to face Chievo holding the upper hand after last weekend4s 2-1 triumph over Lazio saw them leapfrog the Romans into fourth.

With two games remaining, Udinese occupy the last Champions League qualifying berth, two points clear of Roma and Lazio.

"I think it4s right to tell our fans that all will be decided in the last minute of the final round of matches," Guidolin said.

"I am 90% certain that will be the case.

"We have not achieved anything yet but with determination and character we can achieve our aim."

Guidolin, whose side end the campaign against champions AC Milan, hopes Antonio Di Natale can continue his goalscoring form.

Di Natale, who leads the Serie A scoring charts, struck twice against Lazio last weekend to take his tally to 28, two goals more than Napoli's Edinson Cavani.

Guidolin said: "Di Natale must focus on reaching at least the 30-goal mark," he said. "He will not have many opportunities to reach that figure in his career."

Chievo's players go into the match at the Bentegodi stadium with a weight lifted off their shoulders.

Last week's 2-2 draw at Juventus was enough to secure top-flight survival.

The result lifted Chievo to 12th in the standings, seven points clear of the drop zone.

Chievo, who have avoided the drop in the last three campaigns, end their campaign at Palermo.

Udinese will be without injured playmaker Alexis Sanchez while defender Gabriele Angella serves a one-match ban.
