Verona vs Cremonese Predictions

• Cremonese have won two from two, scoring five times
• Verona lost to three of last season’s bottom six at home
• The hosts shipped 1.89 goals per home game last season before selling key defenders

Cremonese to continue fine start

Cremonese have impressed in their first two Serie A games, winning both in high-scoring fashion. They won 2-1 at AC Milan in their return to the top-flight, which was followed by a 3-2 victory at home to fellow promoted side Sassuolo.

Monday’s opponents, Verona, are a side that the visitors should target as they look towards survival this season. The hosts lost 21 of their 38 games last term, including 10 defeats at home.

Three of their four home victories came against sides in the top six, while Verona lost three and drew two of their home clashes against the bottom six.

Relegated sides Empoli and Monza won comfortably at their ground, 4-1 and 3-0 respectively. Overall, Verona conceded 1.89 goals per game at their own ground last term. Since then, right-back Jackson Tchatchoua and centre-half Diego Coppola have both departed for the Premier League.

The visitors have recorded 3.5 Expected Goals in their opening two games, while Verona have a woeful record, leaking five goals in their first two games. Cremonese are a fine price to continue their high-scoring start, so back them for a couple of goals and a 2-1 win.
