Juventus – Cremonese. Forecast and announcement for the match of the Italian championship

On January 12, in the 20th round of Serie A, Juventus will play Cremonese. The start of the meeting is scheduled for 21:45 Kyiv time.

Juventus

Old Signora Club is trying to fight for high places, now the team is fifth in the standings, but the situation is confusing, as the teams have different number of matches played. The victory in this match will allow, at least, to catch up with Roma and be in the top 4, here and the leader is not so far away, only 6 points.

In the last round, the team unexpectedly confidently dealt with the strong Sassuolo away, winning with a score of 3:0. This victory was the fourth in five meetings, while another match ended in a draw. We need to keep in mind the Champions League, where the club is 17th in the standings, with a high chance of reaching the playoffs. Gatti, Milik, Rugani and Vlahovych will not play due to injuries, Conceição and Kelly are not in shape.

Cremonese

The newcomer of Serie A is going through a difficult period, as he cannot win in five matches in a row, during this period he managed to score only two points. Even with these schedules, the situation is not bad, Cremonese is in 13th place, having 9 points away from the danger zone.

There were good chances to win in the last match at home against Cagliari, the team led 2-0 after the first half, Vardy scored and made an assist, but it was not possible to hold the lead, the game ended 2-2. Due to damage, Kollokolo will not be able to enter the field.

Personal meetings

In the match of the first round, Juventus had an obvious advantage and won a well-deserved away victory with a score of 2:1.

Forecast

In the confrontation between a powerful giant and a newcomer of the elite, the favorite is obvious, the bookmakers have no doubts about the victory of the Turin club. Juve is in good form, playing at home, has motivation, but Cremonese is going through a slump, so it will be difficult to grab points. I think the guests will try to find their moments in counterattacks, although Spalletti’s wards should play first. I would risk making a bet here on a total of more than 2.5 goals at 1.66.
