Cremonese vs Lazio Prediction: Biancocelesti to make up for the UEFA defeat

Lazio unexpectedly lost in the Europa League to Denmark's Midtjylland 1-5. Now the Biancocelesti have an away Serie A game against Cremonese. Will they be able to redeem themselves? We'll select a few bets at once.

Cremonese unbeaten for two rounds

Massimiliano Alvini's team, as evidenced by the two previous matches, has settled into the Serie A. After four defeats at the start of the season, Cremonese first managed to stop Sassuolo at home, 0-0. And then took away points from one of the leaders of the championship, Atalanta, 1-1. Apparently, the team from Cremona doesn’t plan to stop.

Lazio suffered a terrible setback

One would hardly expect Maurizio Sarri's side to concede five goals from Midtjylland in Denmark but only score one. A truly terrible defeat for Lazio. Nevertheless, we definitely shouldn't overestimate it. First of all, the Biancocelesti were just as confident in beating Feyenoord 4-2 on home soil in the opening round of the Europa League. Secondly, we can recall Roma's 1-6 defeat at the hands of Norway's Bodo/Glimt in the previous round of the Europa League. Then the Giallorossi, in case anyone forgot, won that tournament. Why shouldn't Lazio, after their defeat in Denmark, repeat the path of their arch-enemies last year?

In the Italian championship, Lazio is still pretty good. In the previous round, the Romans left no chance for Verona, winning 2-0. Following six rounds, with 11 points under their belt, the team is seventh in the Serie A standings, just two points behind the top four, i.e. the Champions League zone.

Injuries and suspensions

Expert Betting Tips

Lazio will surely look to make amends for their Europa League defeat in their match against Cremonese. And they are likely to succeed. Cremonese had a very high quality match against Atalanta, but it is extremely doubtful that they can perform as well in a second game in a row, Massimiliano Alvini's men are just starting their way in Serie A, and they will not have enough strength. Especially given the excessive motivation of the opponent, and a great set of performers in Lazio's attacking lineup.

Prediction: Lazio will win.
