Cremonese preview: Jamie Vardy to deputise
Jamie Vardy is set for his debut for Cremonese after signing for the club as a free agent over the international break. After winning the league with Leicester as the ultimate underdogs, could the 38-year-old have his eyes on another fairytale story with Cremonese?
Predicted lineup: Audero (GK), Terracciano, Baschirotto, Bianchetti, Zerbin, Collocolo, Bondo, Vandeputte, Pezzella, Vazquez, Vardy
Last five results
- Cremonese 3-2 Sassuolo
- AC Milan 1-2 Cremonese
- Cremonese 0-0 Palermo
- Reggiana 0-0 Cremonese
- Cremonese 3-0 Pro Patria
Player to watch: Franco Vazquez
Jamie Vardy should fit right in at Cremonese, as it is hardly a squad of young bucks. The key to their success in recent seasons has been experience, and Franco Vazquez has been central to that. The 36-year-old has been a mainstay in midfield over the past three seasons and has started the new Serie A campaign in fine form.
