Team News: Venezia
The Venezia boss Paolo Vanoli will be grateful to have no fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this clash owing to a fully healthy squad available to select from.
It’s our opinion that Arancioneroverdi may well make use of the 3-5-2 formation for this game with Jesse Joronen, Michael Svoboda, Jay Idzes, Marin Sverko, Antonio Candela, Gianluca Busio, Tanner Tessmann, M. Kofod Andersen, B. Steinn Bjarkason, Nicholas Pierini and Joel Pohjanpalo.
🗞️
Team News: Cremonese
We believe Grigiorossi seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-5-1-1 formation, settling for Gianluca Saro, Valentin Antov, Luca Marrone, Matteo Bianchetti, Luca Zanimacchia, C. Monginda Pickel, Michele Castagnetti, Dennis Johnsen, Leonardo Sernicola, Franco Vazquez and Frank Tsadjout.

Prediction
We feel that Cremonese will need to push hard to put one past this Venezia team who we think will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
We’re therefore seeing a very competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Venezia when the referee blows for full-time.
Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
