Roma Preview
At home, Roma have a great opportunity to get into the top four teams in the Coppa Italia when they host an opponent that on paper is quite affordable. While they cannot be confident against a team coming off a big upset at Napoli, La Loba are playing well and have lost only twice in their last nine games.
In fact, they lost 2-1 to Napoli in Serie A on the weekend, but coach José Mourinho was happy with the performance and attitude of his players on the pitch. In terms of home play, in the Italian league they have 16 points from nine games and have conceded just five goals, the lowest home record in the league.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Rui Patrício; Gianluca Mancini, Chris Smalling, Roger Ibañez; Zeki Celik, Bryan Cristante, Leonador Spinazzola, Nicola Zalewski; Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini; Tamy Abraham.
Cremonese Preview
With the specter of relegation breathing down their necks, Cremonese have another chance to make a splash in Italy when they take on Roma this Wednesday.
After an incredible win against Napoli, the team coached by Massimiliano Alvini will travel to Rome trying to gain new momentum to enter the top four of Coppa Italia and see if that inspires them to save themselves in Serie A.
This season in Coppa Italia, Cremonese have only won when they defeated Ternana, Modena, and Napoli, while in the league championship they have 8 draws and 12 defeats in 18 games. In terms of away performance, Cremonese have fared better away from home, having accumulated 5 draws with 10 goals scored and 18 conceded.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Marco Carnesecchi; Alex Ferrari, Vlad Chiriches, Johan Vasquez; Leonardo Sernicola, Charles Pickel, Michele Castagnetti, Soualiho Meite, Emanuele Valeri; Daniele Ciofani, David Okereke.
JefeBet Prediction
Roma has been among the best teams in Serie A in the last few rounds and against Cremonese they have the opportunity to continue rounding off a good season. José Mourinho has always been very competitive and that is why there is no doubt that at home he will start with a good lineup to get into the top four of Coppa Italia.
As for Cremonese, they probably deserve much better luck in Serie A, but now they will have to make the decision whether to focus all their forces on salvation or to continue fighting in a tournament where several big Calcio teams remain.
Roma have also gone six games unbeaten against Cremonese and in their 11 previous games against they have lost just once, in 1993.
Prediction: Roma to win (ROM 2 – CRE 0)
