| 22 | Goals For | 30 |

| 15th | Away Rank | 18th |
With just one point separating 18th-placed Cremonese and 17th-placed Fiorentina, this encounter could prove decisive in the battle to avoid relegation.
Cremonese’s difficult run continued last weekend when they suffered a 2–1 defeat against fellow strugglers Lecce.
Cremonese are without a win in their last 14 matches this season.
Even managing to score only their second goal in nine matches was not enough to prevent the loss, which extended their winless streak to 14 league games.
Their situation grows increasingly worrying with every passing week, and their home form offers little encouragement either, as Cremonese have failed to score in each of their last four league matches on their own ground.
On the other hand, Fiorentina received a boost in midweek when they secured a 2–1 win over Rakow in the UEFA Conference League, ending a run of two games without scoring.
Fiorentina star Albert Gudmundsson has scored five of his last seven goals after the 70th minute.
Despite that positive result, they cannot afford to focus solely on European competition, as they sit just one point above the relegation zone and the threat of dropping into Serie B remains very real.
Their recent away form offers some encouragement, with three victories in their last five matches across all competitions.

Whispers predicts: Cremonese 0-1 Fiorentina
Fiorentina’s recent form is slightly better than that of their hosts, and their historic dominance in this fixture cannot be ignored.
Their midweek European success also provides the winning momentum that could help them secure a victory over Cremonese.
The hosts' inability to score at home in recent weeks suggests that a narrow victory for the visitors is the most logical outcome.
The bookmakers have priced the visitors as favourites at 1.90 odds, while a draw is currently valued at 3.60 odds, which is a plausible result given the high stakes of the game.
A home win for Cremonese is priced as the underdog result at 3.90 odds, as they have not won a league game in months.
The odds for under 2.5 goals are set at 1.90 odds, which aligns with the prediction of a low-scoring encounter between two struggling attacks.
Both teams to score – (No) is also a strong proposition at 1.95 odds, considering Cremonese’s recent scoring droughts. For those looking for more value, a Fiorentina win combined with a clean sheet is a tempting option.
> Away to win at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 goals at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score - (No) at 1.95 | Likelihood: Possible
> Fiorentina to win to nil at 3.40 | Likelihood: Possible
