Cremonese Team News

Recent defeats to Napoli, Juventus, Inter and Atalanta aren't saying anything about the real quality and form of Cremonese, but it's worth noting that Cremonese was never really in any of those games, in each instance it was just a matter of how many goals will the favourite score. Napoli, Atalanta and Inter scored 2 while Juventus did 5.

But it's the absolute lack of results against fellow relegation candidates that should be really worrying. The best Cremonese can do is a draw, and we have to go back to December 7 to find the last win, it came at home 2-0 against Lecce. That's 10 matches without a win now. Cremonese is a read book.

Genoa Team News

Genoa's incredible resurgence has been put on a two-week hold as they faced Lazio and Napoli, and lost both matches 3-2. Interestingly, on both occasions Genoa conceded the third goal deep in injury time, through a penalty kick.

It goes without saying, scoring twice against sides such as these two is a reward unto itself, as well as a sign of good things to come. Genoa is a very offensive side now under Daniele De Rossi, and if they keep up with these performances, results will come and Genoa won't have any worries in the last few rounds of the season regarding a possible drop to Serie B.

Probable Lineups

Cremonese (3-5-2): Audero - F.Terracciano, Baschirotto, Luperto - Barbieri, Payero, Thorsby, Maleh, Pezzella - Vardy, Djuric. Coach Nicola.

Genoa (3-5-2): Bijlow - Marcandalli, Ostigard, Vasquez - Norton-Cuffy, Frendrup, Malinovsky, Ellertsson, Martin - Vitinha, Colombo. Coach De Rossi.

Both sides will run out with their standard lineups. Both Cremonese and Genoa have firm elevens that aren't changed unless absolutely necessary.

The Betting Market

Genoa is just a slight favourite at 2.56, which means they are getting some credit as the better team but not enough to make them significantly favoured by the bookmakers. In other words, they give them a cautious edge.

Under 2.5 Goals is favoured so much - 1.53 - that you'd better bet on the opposite outcome and hope for the best. Your reward is a price of 2.50. Genoa always plays offensively and, it seems, they have a way of pushing all opponents in this league past 2.5 goals.

Both Teams To Score: NO is priced at 1.70 and this is a better bet if you think the game will be underish. The Under 2.5 Goals bet relies on Cremonese not scoring, anyway, so better take the 1.70.

The Betting Verdict

From the get-go it was obvious to us that this will be a bet on Genoa as we knew that the bookmakers will give a good price.

Simply bet on an in-form team to win here. Alternatively, bet on Over 2.5 for a similar price.

The Pick :

Cremonese 1-2 Genoa
