Cremonese vs Cagliari: Match Prediction
At home, Cremonese can be expected to play actively in attack. At least previously the team showed offensive productivity: in their last 14 home Serie A matches the club's players did not finish a match without scoring. At the same time, Cremonese cannot boast a solid defense: in the current season the team kept a clean sheet only twice in eight home matches.
Cagliari have recently also managed to be effective in attack even in away fixtures. In their previous eight away Serie A games the side failed to score only against Lazio and Como, who are among the best teams in the league for fewest goals conceded this season. At the same time, the club regularly concedes: in 10 of their last 11 away Serie A matches Cagliari failed to keep a clean sheet.
We expect a productive game from both opponents.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score
