Betting on U.S. Cremonese
Cremonese started to notice Davide Ballardini’s presence in the team’s dugout, and this coming Saturday appears to be the ideal opportunity for them to record their first victory in the current Serie A campaign.
The team at the bottom of the table really needs a win to begin considering their options for redemption after their unexpected run to the Coppa Italia semifinals this week after defeating Roma and Napoli.
Cremonese has only eight points after 20 games and is 10 points behind Spezia, a team that holds the final spot necessary to remain in the Calcio first division and is now in 17th place.
However, the recent positive results with Ballardini are a boost. They tied with Bologna two games ago, narrowly lost 1-2 to Inter last week, and secured two wins in the Coppa Italia.
This gives them a prime opportunity to earn their first three points in the match against Lecce at home and improve their status as the league’s weakest defense, having conceded 35 goals
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Marco Carnesecchi; Alex Ferrari, Matteo Bianchetti, Johan Vasquez; Leonardo Sernicola, Marco Benassi, Michele Castagnetti, Soualiho Meite, Emanuele Valeri; Daniele Ciofani, David Okereke.
Betting on U.S. Lecce
Although Lecce are not in the relegation places, their two consecutive defeats have complicated their position in the standings. After six games without a loss, Marco Baroni’s men have dropped to 15th place in the standings with 20 points, seven points ahead of Verona, who occupy the last place in the Serie B standings.
Since Baroni’s club has never scored more than two goals in a game and has the fifth-lowest goal total in the league with 19 goals, their inconsistent goal scoring has been their biggest issue.
Lecce’s away performance has them in the middle of the table with nine points after ten games, but they haven’t scored in their previous two away contests. They have only scored seven goals this season away from home, which serves as an example of this.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Wladimiro Falcone; Valentin Gendrey, Federico Baschirotto, Samuel Umtiti, Giuseppe Pezzella; Alexis Blin, Morten Hjulmand, Joan Gonzàlez; Gabriel Strefezza, Lorenzo Colombo, Federico di Francesco.
JefeBet Prediction
Cremonese’s primary barrier to victory was their defensive flaws. However, against a team that doesn’t allow goals this Saturday, things might be different. The only three games this season in which Cremonese did not concede a goal were at home, and Lecce has one of the worst away attacks.
Additionally, Ballardini’s team is in better form, and winning three points would be a great gift for their fans.
Prediction: Under (CRE 1 – LEC 0).
