Spezia vs Cremonese: Top Two Tips
Spezia have picked up 8pts from their opening nine matches in Serie A this season but will be confident about their chances of adding to that tally when they play host to struggling Cremonese. The newly-promoted visitors have only have 3pts to their name and the joint-worst goal difference in the division but have managed to draw their last two matches on the road.
Spezia to Win
Spezia have secured three wins from their last five matches against Cremonese and we're backing the home side to end the weekend victorious. The hosts are certainly at their strongest in their own backyard, picking up three wins, two draws and no defeats in league and cup this season. Cremonese are yet to win in the Serie A and have lost three and drawn two of their five away games.
Both Teams to Score
Both teams found the back of the net when Spezia last played host to Cremonese back in 2020, and we're expecting more of the same on Sunday. Spezia haven't managed to keep a single clean sheet in any of their last six matches and both teams scored in each of their last three home games. Both teams also got on the scoreboard in four of Cremonese's last six outings in Serie A, so you can see why we're not backing either side to keep their clean sheet intact this weekend.

Both teams' recent form has been poor
Spezia were away at Monza last weekend where the visitors went down by two goals to nil. Augusto fired the home side in front in the 32nd-minute and a goal from Mari just after the hour mark ended any hopes of a Spezia comeback. Spezia slipped down to 15th following that defeat but remain 3pts above the drop zone.
Spezia Predicted Lineup – Drągowski, Nikolaou, Bastoni, Ampadu, Kiwior, Holm, Bourabia, Kovalenko, Agudelo, Nzola & Gyasi
Cremonese weren't given a chance of securing their first win of the season at home to Napoli, and for good reason. A penalty from Politano put Napoli 1-0 in the 26th-minute and despite Cfemonese equalising through Dessers early in the second forty-five, the visitors dominated the game. Simone got Napoli back in front in the 76th-minute and Napoli scored two goals in stoppage-time through Lozano and Olivera to wrap up a 4-1 victory.
Cremonese Predicted Lineup – Radu, Bianchetti, Lochoshvili, Sernicola, Valeri, Quagliata, Meïté, Ascacíbar, Dessers, Zanimacchia & Afena-Gyan
Team News
Spezia: Jacopo Sala, Petko Hristov and Arkadiusz Reca are the three main injury concerns for the hosts.
