Betting on Cremonese
Cremonese is in serious trouble at the bottom of the overall standings. It is the only team that has not managed to win in 23 matchdays and has only 9 points, after drawing nine games and losing 14. To make matters worse for the local team, it has the second-worst defense of the campaign with 42 goals conceded, and an average of 1.82 goals conceded per game.
However, in February, they surprised everyone by beating Roma 1-2 in the Coppa Italia to advance to the semifinals. It is important to mention that their two wins in the last 10 matches came in the Coppa Italia, while their last victory in a league match was when they were still in Serie B, in May 2022, when they beat Como by a score of 1-2.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Marco Carnesecchi; Alex Ferrari, Matteo Bianchetti, Emanuel Aiwu; Leonardo Sernicola, Charles Pickel, Soualiho Meïté, Marco Benassi, Emanuele Valeri; Frank Tsadjout, David Okereke
Betting on Roma
Roma has not lost in its last three Serie A matches, winning the most recent by a 1-0 score against Verona, another team that is struggling to avoid relegation. In addition to that victory, in midweek, they beat Salzburg 2-0 in the Europa League to advance to the round of 16.
That’s good news for the team coached by José Mourinho, which has shown interesting things in Serie A and is in the top four, with 13 wins, five draws and five defeats. They are not a team that is known for scoring a lot of goals, but they have performed well defensively, conceding only 19 goals, which is the third fewest in the league.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Rui Patrício; Gianluca Mancini, Chris Smalling, Roger Ibañez; Nicola Zalewski, Bryan Cristante, Nemanja Matic, Leonardo Spinazzola; Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini; Andrea Belotti
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams need the three points to achieve their respective objectives, but the one with more pressure at the moment is Cremonese, who needs to start winning if they want to fight to avoid relegation in the final stretch of the tournament.
Unfortunately, they are underdogs as they are the second worst home side of the campaign with a record of three draws and eight defeats in 11 games. In addition, they have lost their last four home games, so a Roma win is expected here, but not a big one.
Prediction: Roma wins by a score of 0-2.
