Cremonese vs Bologna Predictions

• Bologna have seen both teams score in all of their seven trips to sides below them
• Cremonese have seen their season turn around since April
• However, the hosts have the second-worst defensive record in the Italian top-flight

Hosts need a boost

Cremonese have drifted to six points shy of safety with just three games remaining after their loss at Juventus last week. Their case wasn’t helped by Spezia’s surprise victory over AC Milan, which leaves the hosts in need of a victory when they face Bologna on Saturday.

Cremonese arguably need to win their final three games to stay up and even then that might not be enough. However, they are going up against a Bologna side who have failed to win their last six matches, with the visitors losing nine games on their travels this season.

Bologna to cause problems

For all Bologna’s issues, the visitors do have a fine record when it comes to getting forward. The visitors have scored in each of their seven visits to sides below them in the table, but they’ve also conceded in each of those seven too.

That suggests this could be quite an open clash, with Cremonese scoring in each of their last four at home. They’ve been in much better form in recent weeks, earning 46% of their points in Serie A this season since April (11/24).

The hosts have conceded the second-highest number of goals in Serie A this term and they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in 86% of their games, so they should struggle at the back. Look to both teams to score in this clash, with a 1-1 draw my correct score prediction following Bologna’s string of draws.
