Cremonese Preview
Cremonese is the only team in Serie A without a win after 17 games played, recording seven draws and 10 defeats. With only seven points, they are at the bottom of the standings, in the relegation zone.
They have not been very good in attack and have scored the second fewest goals in the tournament (11), which is the main problem preventing them from registering positive results. They are currently on a four-game scoreless streak, with a total of 360 minutes without a goal, and come into this match with three consecutive defeats.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): Marco Carnesecchi, Alex Ferrari, Matteo Bianchetti, Luka Lochoshvili; Leonardo Sernicola, Michele Castagnetti, Charles Pickel, Emanuele Valeri, Luca Zanimacchia, Cristian Buonaiuto, Cyriel Dessers.
Monza Preview
Monza has not performed at its best so far in the campaign but at least, unlike its rival, it has been able to score three points so far this season. It has a record of five wins, three draws and nine losses in 17 games, and it currently occupies the 15th place in the standings with 18 points.
It bodes well that they have yet to lose so far in 2023, and are currently on a three-game unbeaten streak, with one win and two draws. It has struggled to be consistent and so far its longest positive streak came between September and October with four undefeated games, including three wins and a draw.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Michele Di Gregorio, Marlon, Pablo Mari, Armando Izzo, Samuele Birindelli, José Machin, Matteo Pessina, Carlos Augusto, Patrick Ciurria, Dany Mota, Andrea Petagna.
JefeBet Prediction
Monza is not a good visiting team in this tournament, as it only registers one win in eight matches in that condition, and also comes to this match without a win in the last four, with one draw and three defeats.
However, Cremonese should not be a threat for Monza, since they have failed to score in their last four home games. This match will be very even, but Monza, who comes into this game better positioned, is expected to pull off a win here.
Prediction: Monza wins by a score of 1-0.
