Hellas Verona vs Cremonese – 09/01/2023
2254
We have a full round of games to look forward to in Serie A on the weekend including the meeting between Hellas Verona and Cremonese.
The match will take place on the 9th of January and the hosts begin the game bottom of the table on 6 points while the visitors are just one place above them on 7 points.
Hellas Verona come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at Torino in Serie A. Hellas Verona opened the scoring on the stroke of half time but could not hold on to the lead in the second half and Torino equalised in the 64th minute to take a point.
That result means Hellas Verona have failed to win any of their 11 most recent league fixtures. They have lost 10 of those 11 matches and the draw at Torino came as a welcome result following the break for the World Cup.
Trends show Hellas Verona have won just 1 of their last 19 matches in Serie A, which is an extremely poor record.
Home form in the league shows Hellas Verona have lost 9 of their last 10 games, including each of their last 5 Serie A matches at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi.
The main issues have come in defence and Hellas Verona have seen both teams score in 5 of their last 6 home league games and have conceded in each of their 11 most recent home Serie A fixtures.
Cremonese make the short trip to the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi having previously lost 1-0 at home to Juventus. Cremonese made life difficult for the visitors but did not get a reward for their efforts as they conceded at the end of the game.
Trends show Cremonese have failed to win any of their last 23 Serie A matches, a run which stretches back to the previous time they were in Serie A in 1996. They have failed to win any of their 16 league fixtures this season and all 7 points have come courtesy of draws.
In fact, Cremonese have drawn 3 of their last 5 Serie A fixtures.
Cremonese’s last 3 games in Serie A have seen under 2.5 goals scored and they have failed to score a goal in those 3 matches. Away form shows Cremonese are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 league games. There have been draws at Atalanta, Lecce, Spezia, and Salernitana.
Team news and Hellas Verona have just the one injury issue with Marco Davide Faraoni a doubt due to a muscle problem.
Cremonese will be without suspended midfielder Souahilo Meite. He is the only player unavailable for the visitors.
This is going to be a tense game between the bottom two clubs. Both teams have been struggling to win matches and therefore, it makes sense that this match could end in a draw.
We expect to see both teams score but for under 2.5 goals, meaning 1-1 is our correct score prediction.
