Roma to Win
It is quite incredible that still, after 23 rounds of matches, Cremonese is without a league win. That is something we don't see in Europe's top leagues, but it also shows how some teams are not meant to be playing at the highest level, or rather, are not ready for that kind of competition. This Cremonese vs Roma prediction is about the visiting team, and their fight for Champions League placement next season. Curiously, these teams last met about a month ago when Cremonese shocked Roma in the quarterfinal stage of Coppa Italia. Cremonese is unable to win in the league, but it seems they have no problem progressing in the Italian Cup competition. For the current league season, however, Roma has been doing great work, they are third in the rankings at the moment, and the games like the one against Cremonese need to be won to avoid any serious slip-ups in their journey toward higher goals. Looking at their h2h matchup, Roma has won four straight matches in the league, however, before the first game of this season which Roma won 1-0, their previous game was 27 years ago, so it won't have any relevance for this game.
Under 2.5 Goals
Even though they are not the last in the league rankings, Cremonese has the second-worst attack in Serie A behind Sampdoria. Cremonese scored only 17 goals this term, and they're over/under record stands at 11-12 toward the ‘over' side of things. They had two under 2.5 goals matches in their past five games. Roma, on the other hand, is the second-best ‘under' team in the league this season playing out 15 matches with fewer than three goals scored. Their average for the season is 2.1 goals per game, and they had four matches under the mark in their last five outings. This season's two Cremonese vs Roma matches ended with a 1-0 Roma win, and a 2-1 Cremonese victory in the Italian Cup.

Team Previews, News, and Cremonese vs Roma Lineups
Cremonese
There is little doubt that Cremonese will be playing in Serie B next season, they have earned only nine points and are hoping that by the end of the year, they can at least win some games. The home side doesn't have injury issues for the match.
Possible lineup: Carnesecchi, Ferrari, Bianchetti, Aiwu, Sernicola, Pickel, Meite, Benassi, Valeri, Okereke, Tsadjout.
Roma
Not many people thought about Roma when they were contemplating who will fight for Champions League football in Serie A this season. Inter, AC Milan, Napoli, and Juventus are the teams usually in that conversation, but with the Turin side out of the battle due to the 15-point deduction penalty, things have opened up for other clubs like Roma. Jose Mourinho's side is fighting also in Europa League where they advanced to the last 16 stages, and are going for another trophy after last year winning the Conference League. Ebrima Darboe is out due to injury, and Chris Smalling is suspended for the trip to Cremona.
Possible lineup: Patricio, Ibanez, Llorente, Mancini, Spinazzola, Bove, Cristante, Karsdrop, El Shaarawy, Solbakken, Abraham.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
