Cremonese vs. AS Roma Betting Preview
Cremonese
It already appears incredibly likely that Cremonese will be returning to Serie B at the conclusion of this season. They sit bottom of the standings, having picked up just nine points from 23 games.
In total, they have scored just 17 goals this term, while they have allowed 42 goals. Crucially, they have been unable to pick up a single league victory to this point, which leaves them eleven points from safety.
Cremonese comes into this fixture against Roma, having gone 30 Serie A fixtures without success. That is a tied record for the longest winless streak in the history of the league, meaning that anything other than a success against Roma on Tuesday would leave them as the outright holder of that unwanted record.
However, they do come into this fixture after putting in a solid performance in their previous game. They played out a 2-2 draw on the road against Torino. But, they were denied victory in that road match as the hosts leveled the scores with just ten minutes remaining.
There is certainly a sense that they are edging closer toward a victory. But, whether that is enough to be swayed into making Cremonese picks this week is difficult to judge.
AS Roma
The visitors will likely be prominent among many when making Cremonese vs AS Roma picks this week. They currently sit fourth in the Serie A standings, and could move up to third, or second with a wide enough winning margin this week.
Their recent form has been incredibly strong, as Roma has picked up three wins from their last five. Over that period, the AS Roma stats show that they have lost on just one occasion.
Roma has become a very professional team under Jose Mourinho, as they have picked up eleven victories by a 1-0 scoreline, which includes the win that they recorded against Cremonese in the reverse fixture. Across the big five European leagues, only Barcelona and Real Sociedad have picked up more 1-0 wins since the start of last season.
Mourinho’s side has been extremely difficult to break down over that period, as they have conceded an average of just 10.1 shots per game. Only Fiorentina has allowed fewer shots against. Roma should also be confident coming into this game, as they have won each of their last four against their rivals on Tuesday.
Cremonese vs. AS Roma Betting Picks
The fact that the hosts still haven’t won a league fixture this term does mean that making Cremonese vs AS Roma picks should be relatively straightforward.
The visitors have been excellent defensively throughout this term, while they also possess excellent quality in the final third. One of our main soccer picks for this match will be for Roma to claim a 1-0 win, while a good insurance bet could be on both teams not to score.
- Pick 1: Roma to win 1-0 (+500)
- Pick 2: Both Teams Not To Score (-143)
