Parma vs Cremonese: match preview
Parma are currently positioned in mid-table and sit in a relatively safe spot when it comes to the relegation battle. They are in 12th place with 34 points after 29 rounds. The gap to the relegation zone stands at 10 points. However, their recent form has not been convincing. Parma lost 1–4 to Torino in their previous match and also recorded two draws. Nevertheless, they still maintain a comfortable cushion and are unlikely to lose their Serie A status.
Cremonese were promoted to Serie A and their primary objective is to retain their place in the top flight. After 29 rounds, they have collected 24 points and sit 18th in the table. The gap to 17th place is just three points, so they remain firmly in the survival race. However, their current form has been extremely poor. The team are winless in 15 consecutive matches: four draws and 11 defeats. They need to start winning if they want to stay in Serie A.
Probable line-ups
- Parma: Suzuki; Circati, Troilo, Valenti; Britschgi, Sorensen, Keita, Ordonez, Valeri; Pellegrino, Strefezza
- Cremonese: Audero; Terracciano, Ceccherini, Luperto; Barbieri, Thorsby, Vandeputte, Maleh, Pezzella; Djuric, Bonazzoli
Prediction
Both teams are in poor form and need to turn things around, especially Cremonese. However, both sides struggle offensively, in fact ranking among the worst in Serie A. Therefore, I do not expect a high-scoring game. The recommended bet is under 2.5 goals.
