Cremonese go into this fixture following on from a 1-1 Serie B drawn result vs Juve Stabia.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where Cremonese haven’t conceded. In fact, Cremonese have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 8 goals along the way. Nonetheless, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend will be sustained here in this game or not.

Prediction
In this match, Mantova will do really well to get a goal against a Cremonese side who look likely to boss this game in attack, midfield and defence.
We’re therefore predicting a very comfortable 3-0 winning margin for Cremonese when all is said and done.
