Cremonese vs Empoli Prediction & Tips
The match between Cremonese and Empoli that opens the 30th day of Serie A on Friday, April 14 at 6:30 p.m. is a match that has little value for the standings. The grigiorossi have one foot and a half in Serie B, there are ten points to recover from Spezia, the feat seems desperate and the sporting miracle far from the team’s ropes. Empoli, for its part, seems to have overcome the difficult period and is almost certain to play in the highest national tournament next year as well since it has ten points ahead of third-last-place Verona.
Cremonese is fresh from the crazy success at Marassi against Sampdoria, a roar of pride from Ballardini’s team that after being trailing 2-1 turned the situation around in the final to win 3-2. It was the first success after defeats to Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia and Atalanta in the league where victory had been missing since Feb. 28. Empoli has also lately found the straight and narrow by drawing with Milan 0-0 and winning earlier 1-0 with Lecce. Four points that pushed away the crisis faced until March with four defeats in a row and eight days without bringing home the full post.
Ballardini will not be able to count on Okereke, Chiriches and Ferrari, so in defense there will be room for Aiwu, Bianchetti and Vasquez, while in attack to partner Dessers, dry of goals for five matches, will be Bonaiuto plus Ciofani (two goals in the last four games). Watch out for Sernicola the match winner at Marassi. In Empoli, Vicario, the best of his side this season, could return in goal; otherwise Zanetti should have the whole squad available. The offensive pair will be Caputo, in goal on the penutlima day, and Cambiaghi, now fully recovered. Behind them will be the 19-year-old jewel Baldanzi, already in the sights of the league’s big names. Starting jersey in the medana for Bandinelli and Marin.
