Cremonese Team News
Following the weekend excitement that culminated with a change on top of Serie A, with Milan now occupying the spot, on Monday we have an unremarkable fixture that involves Cremonese. Most fixtures that involve this side will be unremarkable, to be fair.
Inter hasn't made the same mistake Milan did, and won 4-1 at home against Cremonese in Round 6. This was also the first defeat for this tough-defending side and perhaps a sign of things to come as newly promoted sides tend to fizzle out after two or three months of running on pure adrenaline. This is two months now.
Cremonese played four matches against fellow relegation candidates, which as a group that can vaguely include Udinese too although they're considered a mid-table team. Three of those four matches were completely uninspiring; two ended 0-0 and one ended 1-1. It's only the Sassuolo match that erupted into a five-goal thriller.
Udinese Team News
We keep hoping Udinese will beat the odds and win a game, as they certainly are a good value bet and an underdog that gets wins when you least expect it, as was the case in their road game against Inter Milan. They also won on the road 0-1 in Pisa, but later lost 3-1 to Sassuolo and failed to beat Cagliari with a 1-1 at home.
You can't really expect Udinese to win, but what you can do is bet on them when the price is right. There will often be a price of 2.00 or above on Udinese when they face a relegation candidate, and that's when Udinese is worth a shot - if you think the matchup is favourable.
Probable Lineups
Cremonese (3-5-2): Audero - F.Terracciano, Baschirotto, Bianchetti - Zerbin, Collocolo, Grassi, Vandeputte, Pezzella - Sanabria, Vazquet. Coach Nicola.
Udinese (3-5-2): Sava - Bertola, Kristensen, Solet - Zanoli, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Atta, Kamara - Davis, Zaniolo. Coach Runjaic.
The Betting Market
Udinese is a favourite at 2.30, which means the bookmakers are putting a lot of trust into them as normally the home side should be slightly favoured in a duel such as this. There's no value in the 2.30 so punters would better be advised to take a Double Chance on Cremonese - yet another outing where this side avoids defeat - for 1.57.
Under 2.5 Goals is priced at 1.62, while Both Teams To Score: NO is rewarded with 1.80.
The Betting Verdict
We're looking at a game similar to the 0-1 Udinese played at Pisa, although Pisa is much less of a threat in front of the goal than Cremonese. It will likely be a slow game with chances difficult to come by. Udinese needs a ton of chances to score, and so does Cremonese. It's very likely that these two sides will cancel each other out, so we're looking at an Under.
