Cremonese vs Spezia
Italian Serie A
Date: 6 May 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Giovanni Zini (Cremona).
Cremonese will try and catch their last train on Saturday evening when they host direct rivals Spezia in a relegation six-pointer at Stadio Giovanni Zini.
The hosts have grown in form and confidence of late by losing just one of the previous six outings across competitions.
They were seconds away from beating the likes of AC Milan three days ago at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza but substitute Junior Messias pulled off a leveler in the third minute of added time on the occasion.
The team led by Davide Ballardini are still second from bottom with as many as six points between them and Spezia in the safe zone.
It is a gap they can annul in the remaining five rounds, especially if they beat the direct rivals Spezia on Saturday night.
The visitors will enter the tie in a more negative rhythm. They are winless in seven subsequent league affairs and they have claimed just one point from the previous four Serie A matches.
Leonardo Semplici’s men revealed their defensive woes once again on Wednesday evening, conceding three goals in a narrow away loss at Atalanta.
La Spezia have now shipped at least two goals in three of the last four league fixtures which will be the music to the ears of David Okereke and company.
Okereke came on from the bench in the second half of Cremonese’s midweek tie with AC Milan and became the team’s top scorer by netting his seventh goal of the season on the occasion.
Cremonese vs Spezia Head-to-head
- Cremonese will rely on their fine tradition in home clashes against Spezia as they have won and drawn three games apiece at Stadio Giovanni Zini in this matchup.
- The two outfits shared spoils in a 2-2 stalemate when they met each other in the return game played in mid-October last year at Stadio Alberto Picco.
- Both teams were on target just twice in the previous eight head to head outings.
Cremonese vs Spezia Prediction
Cremonese will go into this high on confidence after a draw at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and we believe they have what it takes to dispatch Spezia on the home patch. You can back the hosts at the 2.30 odds.
Alternatively, we like the 2.20 odds offered for Cremonese to bag two or more goals on Saturday knowing about Spezia’s recent defensive woes.
