Verona vs Cremonese Preview – Team News, Form, and Probable Lineups
This is the duel of the relegation zone, so let's take a closer look at both teams before they beet:
Verona
Just one win in sixteen games this season in Serie A is a clear sign that Verona is in a tough spot, even before we look at the standings where they are last with just six points. On the bright side, a lot of games still remain to be played and if Verona can get into good form perhaps they can muster a survival, but that is a long shot at this point.
Meanwhile, the team is still without injured Marco Davide Faraoni, but the rest of the team is in good shape.
Verona Predicted Lineup:
Montipo – Dawidowicz, Hien, Ceccherini – Depaoli, Ilic, Tameze, Doig – Lazovic, Kallon – Djuric
Cremonese
With just one point more than their upcoming rival Verona, who is in the last place with six points, Cremonese is also a prime candidate for relegation this season. After all, the team from Cremona is still without a win in Serie A even though sixteen rounds have passed in the league so far, so they are obviously going to have to do better if they want to avoid moving to Serie B.
When it comes to team news, Cremonese has no injuries to worry about, but Souahilo Meite is out through suspension.
Cremonese Predicted Lineup:
Consigli – Toljan, Ayhan, Ferrari, Rogerio – Frattesi, Obiang, Thorstvedt – Traore, Lauriente, Pinamonti

Player to Watch: David Okereke
Given that this is a duel between two teams that are currently in the last two positions in Serie A, not many of their players have really stood out this season so far and it's tough to decide who should be the player to watch.
Still, our choice is David Okereka, the Nigerian striker who managed to score three goals for Cremonese this season, more than any other player on the team. So, he will be the player that Verona has to stop if they want to have a good result in this match.
