Team News: Cremonese
It’s our opinion that Grigiorossi may well use the 3-4-3 system for this one with Andrea Fulignati, Francesco Folino, Federico Ceccherini, Luca Ravanelli, Tommaso Barbieri, Michele Collocolo, Michele Castagnetti, Paulo Azzi, Dennis Johnsen, Franco Vazquez and Jari Vandeputte.
📰
Team News: Spezia
Spezia manager Luca D'Angelo has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Mouhamadou Sarr (Broken arm) and Duccio Degli Innocenti (Achilles tendon rupture) are not ready for selection.
We’re of the thinking that Spezia seem likely to play in a 3-5-2 lineup, choosing Stefano Gori, P. Wisniewski, Petko Hristov, Ales Matějů, Luca Vignali, Francesco Cassata, Ádám Nagy, Rachid Kouda, Giuseppe Aurelio, F. Pio Esposito and Giuseppe Di Serio.
🔮
Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Spezia will surely be able to break down this Cremonese lineup, although it might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re going for a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Cremonese when all is said and done. Should be a good one.
