Monza Draw no Bet
Cremonese’s stay in Serie A is destined to be a short one following their promotion last year and they are winless and rooted to the foot of the table after 17 games of the 2022/23 campaign. The relegation favourites look well below the standard required to compete in the Italian top flight and on Saturday, they host a dogged Monza outfit at the Stadio Giovanni Zini. Monza held big-hitters Inter to a 2-2 draw last time out and the should have enough confidence to make them backable in the draw no bet stakes this weekend.
Under 2.5 Goals
While we expect Monza to leave Cremonese with a positive result on Saturday, margins could be thin at the Stadio Giovanni Zini and a low-scoring tussle is anticipated. Six of the host’s last seven Serie A assignments have featured two or fewer goals, while Monza have managed to notch just five times in total on the road since August. Both teams lack firepower in the final third and a stake on under 2.5 goals could allow you to take advantage of the toothlessness on show.

Cremonese vs Monza Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Saturday’s Serie A skirmish between Cremonese and Monza below.
Cremonese
Cremonese's physio room is almost empty at present and Head Coach Massimiliano Alvini has few injuries to trouble him ahead of Saturday's game. The division's bottom club lost 2-0 at Verona in their last top flight assignment.
Predicted Lineup for Cremonese: Carnesecchi – Sernicola, Ferrari, Bianchetti, Lochoshvili – Pickel, Castagnetti, Zanimacchia, Buoanaiuto, Valeri – Dessers
Monza
Stefano Sensi is a doubt for Monza this week, however, beyond the midfielder, injury issues are few and far between. Monza came from behind twice to rescue a 2-2 draw at home to Inter last time out and their 93rd-minute equalizer in that game would have galvanised their self-belief.
Predicted Lineup for Monza: Di Gregorio – Marlong, Mari, Izzo – Birindelli, Pessina, Machin, Augusto – Ciurria, Mota, Petagna
Player to Watch – Patrick Ciurria
Monza were good value for the point they earned at home to Inter last Saturday and attacking midfielder Patrick Ciurria was central to their success. The 27-year-old netted his first Serie A goal of the season after just 11 minutes against the Milanese giants, adding to the four assists he had already pocketed earlier in the campaign. Cirurria should have renewed confidence following his strike and the schemer could be one to keep an eye on this weekend.
