On Wednesday night, Cremonese and Fiorentina go head-to-head at the Stadio Giovanni Zini in one of the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
The home team has endured mixed fortunes this season, as they have been poor in Serie A but have thrived in the Coppa Italia. In fact, Cremonese currently sits bottom of the Italian top-flight table, 12 points from the safety of 17th place.
Davide Ballardini’s team heads into this clash on the back of a four-game winless streak in all competitions, having suffered three defeats and picked up just one draw.
However, they have looked like a different team in the Coppa Italia. Although Cremonese has won just two of their last six games in 90 minutes in the Coppa, the club from Cremona has eliminated the likes of Napoli and Roma from the competition.
A key to that good run in the Coppa Italia has been their attacking prowess, as Cremonese has now scored at least two goals in each of their previous four games in the competition.
The Viola heads into this clash in good form, having recorded eight straight victories in all competitions. Last time out, the team from Florence secured a superb 1-0 away win at Inter.
The visitors have built their recent good Coppa run on keeping clean sheets in four of their last five competitive games.
Fiorentina has won their last two games in the Coppa Italia against Sampdoria and Torino, having suffered defeat in their two previous matches in the competition.
The Viola has now won just two of their last nine away games in the Coppa in 90 minutes, conceding at least two goals in each of their previous three matches on their travels in the competition.
What does Forebet predict?
Despite Cremonese’s excellent run in the competition, Forebet predicts that Fiorentina will record a victory in a high-scoring game to book their place in Coppa Italia final.
