Cremonese vs Lazio | Where to Watch, Insights, Lineups & Prediction

Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Lazio are coming off a thrilling back-and-forth draw against Udinese. But despite dropping two points at home, they managed to leapfrog Bologna to 8th place in the Serie A table thanks to their superior head-to-head.

The fighting spirit they showed in their most recent outing confirmed the club’s rosy patch, which saw them beat the likes of AC Milan and Napoli in recent weeks, and more importantly, reached the Coppa Italia final after overcoming Atalanta in dramatic penalty shootouts.

At this stage, winning the domestic cup is the main objective for the Aquile, so Maurizio Sarri might rest some players in Cremona. Nevertheless, they would certainly want to preserve their place in the Top 8 to avoid an early Coppa Italia entry next season.

Cremonese vs Lazio: Match Insights

• The reverse fixture: The two clubs played out a forgettable stalemate when they met in Rome in December.
• Cremonese’s miserable home record: The Tigers haven’t won at home since beating Lecce on December 7. Afterwards, they have recorded four draws and five defeats.
• Cremonese seeking first win over Lazio in 30 years: The Lombardians last beat the Aquile in March 1996. Since then, the two sides have met four times in all competitions, with Lazio winning three, and the most recent meeting ending in a draw.

Expected Starting Lineups

Cremonese (4-4-2): Audero; Terracciano, Baschirotto, Luperto, Pezzella; Barbieri, Thorsby, Maleh, Vandeputte; Bonazzoli, Sanabria.

Lazio (4-3-3): Motta; Marusic, Romagnoli, Provstgaard, Tavares; Dele-Bashiru, Paric, Basic; Isaksen, Maldini, Noslin.

Final Score Prediction: Cremonese 0-2 Lazio

Lazio will travel north with fresh legs, a high morale, and an almost empty treatment room. All in all, it’s hard to find an argument against Sarri’s men returning to Rome with three points in the bag. Cremonese will be desperate for a positive result at home, but they haven’t managed to beat a visiting team in five months. Therefore, the in-form Aquile should pile more misery on the Zini.
