Cremonese vs Fiorentina Prediction: Will the Red and Grey be able to pull off another surprise?

Cremonese passed Napoli and Roma on their way to the national cup semifinals. Will the Red and Grey be able to pull off another surprise against Fiorentina?

Entering the semifinals of the Italian Cup Cremonese is also surprising because the team is hopelessly in the Serie A standings. In the previous round, the Gray-Red lost on the home field to Atalanta (1:3) and strengthened their position in the last place in the championship. They are 12 points behind 17th place, and it will be tough for Cremonese to remain in the league.

In the cup tournament, the team seems to be transforming. As already mentioned, in the round of 16, Cremonese beat Napoli in the penalty shootout, and in the quarterfinals, they beat Roma in regulation time. In those two matches, they scored four goals, although again, in the national championship, they are one of the worst teams in terms of goals scored.

Fiorentina is having a great season. Once again, the team showed their highest level last Saturday when they beat Inter 1:0 on the road. This victory put Fiorentina back in the race for the European Cup competition. Vincenzo Italiano's team is now 8 points away from the top-6 in Serie A. And besides the possibility of winning the Italian Cup, Fiorentina continues to fight in the Conference League. In the international tournament, Violets reached the quarterfinals, where they will play against the Polish club Lech.

Fiorentina is in great form, including in away matches, where the Violets have won five straight, so Cremonese's fairytale at the semifinal stage is at risk of ending. Even if they rotate the roster, which the Fiorentina coaching staff might do, the team from Florence will still very likely win. After all, Cremonese will undoubtedly change their roster, and the Red and Grey's personnel resources are much weaker than those of the Florentines. We bet on Fiorentina's victory, as well as on a productive match, taking into account Cremonese's high-scoring games in the current Cup.
