Correct score prediction: Cremonese 1-1 Genoa
Cremonese are 16th in the Serie A table with 23 points from 24 games. They have won only five times this season, and have not picked up victory in their last 10 matches.
Genoa are just above them in 15th, sharing same points, but but a marginal better goal difference, and have picked up only five wins this season.
They are heading into this game on the back of two defeats in a row, which means, no sides emerge as clear-cut favourites.
While Four of Genoa's last five games went above the 2.5-goal line, there have been under 2.5 goals in five of the last six meetings between the two sides.

Player to watch: Lorenzo Colombo
The Italian forward is currently on loan from AC Milan. The 23-year-old forward has been playing for various clubs on loan for the past few seasons, and it has not been easy for him to adjust to different systems.
At Genoa, he has scored six goals in 24 games, and should be in confident mood after scoring against Napoli in the previous game.
