On May 25, at the Giovanni Zini stadium, the second leg of the Serie B playoff semifinal will take place, where Cremonese will face Juve Stabia. For this match, I’m suggesting a bet on goals, cards, or the winner.
Cremonese
The club has broken into Serie A several times, with the most recent promotion coming in 2022. However, they didn’t manage to make a mark that time either. After returning to Italy’s second division, a quick bounce back proved elusive. There were chances: last season, they finished fourth in Serie B, but their playoff campaign ended in disappointment.
This year’s attempt is shaping up to be very similar. In the regular season, Giovanni Stroppa’s men collected 61 points, finishing fourth once again. The playoffs began for them on Wednesday. Playing away, they trailed by two goals, but a strike from Jonsen clearly made the overall task much easier.
Juve Stabia
The team boasts a long history—at least, if you count it continuously. They’ve endured the all-too-familiar Italian football ritual of bankruptcy and rebirth more than once. But such resets have often given them new life, as happened this time. A year ago, they won their group in the country’s third division, which was enough to earn yet another promotion to Serie B.
Initially, the newcomers were expected to fight for survival, and it was far from certain they’d succeed. But it quickly became clear relegation wasn’t a threat—in fact, quite the opposite. They racked up 55 points, securing fifth place. That took them to the playoffs, where they started with a narrow win over Palermo. Then, at home against Cremonese, they managed another slim victory, 2-1.
