Cremonese Preview
Cremonese have not been a reliable team through the first 15 matchdays of the 2022-23 Serie A season, as they have failed to pick up a single win so far. With seven ties and eight losses, they only register seven points so far, which place them 18th in the general standings. If the tournament were to end today, the team would be relegated to Serie B.
After almost two months without playing an official match, it is expected that the squad led by Massimiliano Alvini has been able to correct its mistakes, mainly on offense, as it closed 2022 without being able to score goals in its last two league games. In fact, it is the team with the third lowest number of goals scored in the league (11 goals in 15 games).
Probable lineup (4-3-2-1): Marco Carnesecchi, Leonardo Sernicola, Jack Hendry, Matteo Bianchetti, Emanuele Valeri, Soualiho Meite, Michele Castagnetti, Charles Pickel, Cristian Buonaiuto, David Okereke, Cyriel Dessers.
Juventus Preview
Juventus’ start in its first 15 matches was far from being perfect, but it was enough to place them third in the standings, with a record of nine wins, four draws and two defeats. In total, they have 31 points, 10 behind first place, which currently belongs to Napoli.
Italy’s Vecchia Signora closed 2022 with six consecutive Serie A wins, giving hope that their performance will improve at this point in the campaign, and they can continue their title aspirations. The defensive work of the team coached by Massimiliano Allegri is worth admiring, as so far it is the team that has conceded the least amount of goals (7), and in its last six victories the team kept clean sheets.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczęsny, Danilo da Silva, Gleison Bremer, Alex Sandro, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, Nicolo Fagioli, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Moise Kean, Arkadiusz Milik.
JefeBet Prediction
Cremonese comes into this game with all the pressure on their shoulders for this match, mainly because they need to get three points as soon as possible to get out of the relegation zone. Juve are the clear favorites here, not only because of their opponents’ situation, but also because they are the ones coming in on a favorable run and because they have not allowed a goal in Serie A in 576 minutes.
Prediction: Juventus wins by a score of 3-0.
