Napoli vs Cremonese Prediction: Will Napoli's revenge in the championship be terrible?

On January 17, Napoli faced Cremonese and unexpectedly lost to a modest opponent, dropping out of the Italian Cup. Will Napoli's revenge in the championship be terrible?

The team made one more step toward the championship, which Napoli didn't see since the 1989/90 season. The team beat La Spezia without a chance on the previous matchday. The double was scored by Victor Osimen, who now has 16 goals and first place in the scorers' list with a handicap of 4 goals; another goal was sent to the net by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who converted a penalty. By the way, Khvicha already has eight goals and nine assists in this championship - he is the best assistant in Serie A.

Napoli kept a handicap from the nearest pursuer, now Inter, in the championship standings with 13 points. With such a leading edge in Serie A, the Neapolitans can still make some noise in the Champions League this season as they face Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the last eight on February 21st.

The team from Cremonese achieved a landmark result for themselves. Last week the modest side knocked Roma out of the Italian Cup with a 2:1 away win and reached the tournament's semi-finals. Once again, Cremonese was stronger than Napoli in the quarterfinals, winning on penalties - 3:2 (2:2). It is crucial that the team achieved these successes under the new head coach - Davide Ballardini. Maybe the experienced specialist can now teach this team to win the championship?

Cremonese isn't doing so well in Serie A. Red and Grey are in last place. They have not won a single game in 21 tours and are ten points away from the saving 17th position. In the previous round, Cremone lost 0:2 to Lecce, making it even harder for them to remain in the top division.

Cremonese has excellent away statistics in the league, but it hardly has anything to do with the game in Naples. It is enough to remember what the Neapolitans did on their field with Juventus, who had not conceded eight consecutive rounds before that. Something similar can be expected in the upcoming game. It should not be forgotten that Ballardini's team recently hurt the Neapolitans, knocking them out of the domestic cup. There are doubts that Luciano Spalletti's team has forgotten about it. So we are betting on a confident and smashing victory for Napoli.
