Cremonese vs Spezia Prediction: Betting on the home team

Cremonese will face Spezia on 6 May 2023 at the Stadio Giovanni Zini in Cremona in the 34th round of the Italian football championship.

Cremonese is having their debut season in Italy's elite division but is at risk of relegation to Serie B. The Grays and Reds had a particularly weak start to the championship but gradually adjusted to the higher level of opposition. In the last five rounds, they suffered only one defeat at the hands of Udinese 0:3; they drew 1:1 with AC Milan and Verona and beat Sampdoria and Empoli 3:2 and 1:0, respectively. Cremonese is now 19th in the standings.

Spezia has the opposite situation. The season started pretty well for the Bianconeri; they were closer to the Serie A sides than the relegation zone. That all changed in the second half of January when they suddenly started to have problems with the results, which continue to this day. In the last 15 rounds, the Eagles have only picked up one win, but 2:1 over Inter. There were six more draws and eight defeats. Despite a good start, the subsequent crisis has left La Spezia in 17th place and at risk of relegation.

Cremonese and La Spezia sit side by side in Serie A. The Bianconeri are sitting in a comfortable 17th place in the table, six points ahead of the Red and Grey, but a win for the home side would mean they would be halfway back. In their current form, Davide Ballardini's men can succeed, as they have scored 8 of a possible 15 points (53%) in the last five rounds, while the Eagles have only 3 of 21 points (14%) in their previous seven games. Furthermore, the upcoming meeting will take place at the Giovanni Cini, so the home stands will drive the Tigers to triumph, and you can bet on Cremonese to win.

A couple of months ago, Cremonese and La Spezia looked like a gap, but now they are only six points apart, with a face-off at the Giovanni Cini ahead, where the hosts are the favorites. Therefore, there will not be a second in the match where the scoreline favors both sides. For the Black and Whites, a draw would be a good option, so the Grays and Reds will have to open up for a positive result. If they score, the Eagles will have to find happiness in attack. Therefore, the best option for our prediction is a total over 2.5 goals, and separately, we should look at the bet on David Okereke's goal.
