Cremonese vs Atalanta Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - March 29, 2023

Cremonese vs Atalanta
Italian Serie A
Date: 1 April 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Venue: Stadio Giovanni Zini (Cremona).

Atalanta finally produced a very strong performance two weeks ago when they dispatched Empoli 2-1 at Gewiss Stadium.

La Dea showed an amazing character to bounce back from an early deficit against Empoli, registering as many as 27 attempts towards the rivaling goal on the occasion.

Marten de Roon and substitute Rasmus Hojlund eventually made the difference with second-half goals back then.

Atalanta thus kept ground on AC Milan and Roma in the battle for the top-four finish and a place in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Gianpiero Gasperini’s men are currently just three points below I Rossoneri in fourth place and a win over the rock-bottomed Cremonese would certainly keep La Dea in contention.

The visitors are big favorites ahead of this tie as Cremonese have practically lost all hopes of saving the elite class status a while ago.

Cremonese are firmly holding the very foot of the league table with as many as eleven points between them and the safe zone after 27 rounds of the competition.

They took just one point from the previous three league games against Sassuolo, Fiorentina, and Monza, conceding six goals in the process.

The fact they have shipped at least two goals in six of the last eight Serie A affairs does not bode well for head coach Davide Ballardini and his troops ahead of this match.

Cremonese vs Atalanta Head-to-head

• Atalanta lead the head to head toe by four wins going into the 13th encounter with Cremonese.
• Cremonese did keep La Dea to a 1-1 stalemate in the return outing in September last year in Bergamo.
• Four of the last six head to head meetings between these rivals ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Cremonese vs Atalanta Prediction

Atalanta can ill afford a slip-up against the rock-bottomed opposition if they want to stay in contention for the Champions League spots next season. They have an in-form striker Rasmus Hojlund who bagged five goals in two games over the international break for his Denmark.

Hojlund should have plenty of room to deliver in the final third and we will back him to score anytime at the odds of 2.87. Knowing how poor Cremonese have been defensively of late, we will also take Atalanta to win & Over 2.5 goals FT pick at the 2.50 odds.

Cremonese vs Atalanta Betting Tips

• Atalanta to win & Over 2.5 goals FT @ 2.50 (6/4)

• Rasmus Hojlund to score anytime @ 2.87 (15/8) odd.
