The final matchday in Serie A promises plenty of drama as Cremonese host Como with both sides knowing only a victory can keep their hopes alive. Cremonese are chasing promotion to the top flight and sit just one point behind Lecce while Como are pushing hard for a Champions League spot with only two points separating them from the top four. Everything now depends on how results elsewhere fall but the lads must first handle business on the pitch and that makes for a proper cracker.
Team Form
- Cremonese picked up six points from their last two outings after blanking Pisa three nil and edging Udinese one nil with veteran striker Jamie Vardy grabbing the goals that kept the dream burning.
- Como have been rock solid in the last four rounds collecting three wins and one draw while keeping a clean sheet in every game though their attack has been clinical rather than flashy with just four goals in those victories.
Both teams enter this clash knowing a single slip could end their season ambitions yet they cannot afford to play safe. Cremonese will lean on Vardy magic once more while Como must find a way to break down a home side that has suddenly found its scoring touch. The atmosphere at the ground will be electric as fans from both camps understand how much is riding on the final whistle.
Tactical Analysis
- Cremonese strength lies in their direct attacking play and set piece threat which could trouble Como if the visitors push too many men forward.
- Como weakness is their lack of cutting edge in front of goal despite the strong defensive record so they will need to be more adventurous to grab the points they crave.
In the end both sides are forced to chase the win because three points alone might still not be enough if their rivals deliver elsewhere. That pressure should open up the game and create chances at both ends of the park. Expect end to end action with the home fans roaring every attack and the visitors looking to hit on the break.
Betting Proposal
After weighing up the attacking needs of both sides the smartest play is both teams to find the net. Both teams to score yes at 1.73 offers great value because neither side can afford to sit back and a goal apiece looks the most likely outcome in what should be a high stakes battle.
