Cremonese vs Fiorentina 05.04.2023 Coppa Italia

Match Overview

We have a big match on our hands as the semifinal of the Coppa Italia competition will be played out between two unlikely teams: Cremonese and Fiorentina. Neither of these teams would have hoped to make it this far in this competition, and one cannot blame them for wanting all the glory for themselves. One thing is for sure- one of these teams will be competing for the final glory soon. This is, however, only the first leg of this match, with the second to be played in late April.

Key Highlights

There have only been two matches played between these two teams in the past, and both have been won by Fiorentina. This makes the visiting side the downright favourite to win this game. What will aid their cause is the fact that Cremonese have not kept a clean sheet in the last five matches that they have played. While Fiorentina come into this game on the back of five consecutive wins, Cremonese have won just one match out of the last five that they have participated in. 

Injury Report

The home team have quite a few top players ruled out of this game, which includes the likes of Vlad Chiriches and David Okereke. Alex Ferrari too is doubtful to start. Salvatore Sirigu and Alfred Duncan will miss out for Fiorentina but it is the absence of star forward Luka Jovic that will hurt the visiting side the most.

Prediction

We predict that the visiting side Fiorentina will prevail over Cremonese in this game. Fiorentina have won both the fixtures of the Serie A in which these two teams have competed in so far, and this makes them strong favourites to win this game as well. They will look to take a big lead going into the second leg of the semifinal of the Coppa Italia competition to be played later this month.
