Goal drought in Spalletti’s debut in Friuli?
The club officials in Turin pulled the emergency brake last Monday. After eight competitive games without a win, they showed coach Igor Tudor the door.
In the first and last game under interim coach Massimiliano Brambilla, who previously coached the U23s at the Italian record champions, the “Old Lady” recorded a 3-1 win over Udinese in front of their own fans last Wednesday evening. Read our match preview to find out which Cremonese vs. Juventus tip is now available in the eyes of Wettbasis!
One of the shortcomings of the visitors, who are now coached by former Napoli champion coach Luciano Spalletti, has been their weak offense in recent weeks. In the last four games under Tudor, the Bianconeri have failed to score in every game. However, the home side’s attack is also not in good shape.
Looking back at the last seven league games, the Lombards have scored only six goals. In light of this situation, we are predicting fewer than three goals in the clash between Cremonese and Juventus.
Furthermore, we see sufficient value in the betting odds for a draw. The teams are only one point apart in the table, and draws are almost the norm for the home side, the Grigiorossi.
Cremonese – Juventus Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Juve is the epitome of a formidable opponent for the players from Cremona. Looking back to 1989, US Cremonese has not a single win against the team from Piedmont (0-3-9).
The odds for the upcoming match between Cremonese and Juventus are also clearly in favor of the visitors against the fourth-placed team in Serie B last season.
Cremonese – Juventus Tip
Juve’s away games this season have been stingy with goals. All four games played away from home ended with a maximum of two goals. Furthermore, Turin’s away games have averaged only 1.5 goals – the second lowest average in Serie A away games after Parma (1.4).
The home side has seen a similar lack of goals in front of their own fans. Three of US’s four home games this season have seen fewer than three goals scored. In light of these figures, the odds for less than 2.5 goals in the match between Cremonese and Juventus are the first choice for betting.
Although the visitors recently recorded a 3-1 home win against Udinese following a change of coach, it remains to be seen whether this represents a real upturn in their offense. Two of the three goals came from the penalty spot and the opponents are defensively weak. Together with Florence, the players from Udine have conceded the most goals in the current Serie A season.
We also recommend betting on Cremonese vs. Juventus with a double chance in favor of the hosts after the first half. Juve have yet to take the lead away from home this season (0-2-2), and coach Davide Nicola’s home team have yet to trail at halftime in front of their own fans in their four home games since the start of the season (2-2-0)!
