In the opening match of the 28th round of Serie A, Atalanta from Bergamo will travel to Cremona for a match with Cremonese.
"Cremonese"Davide Ballardini's team was able to break a series of two consecutive defeats in the Italian championship before the pause for the matches of the national teams.
On March 18, Cremonese drew with strong Monza on the road, the meeting ended with a score of 1:1. The Tigers played well from defense and eventually achieved a positive outcome for themselves. All the goals in this confrontation were scored in the second half. Cremonese opened the scoring in the 61st minute. Daniel Ciofani sent the ball into the opponent's goal from Michele Castagnetti's pass. However, already in the 69th minute, Monza was able to recoup. Then the Tigers continued to work competently from defense and thus the team scored one point. Also worth noting is Cremonese goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi, who made six saves.
After this match, Cremonese scored 13 points and Davide Ballardini's team continued to go quietly in last place in the standings.
On March 25, Cremonese held a friendly match against a much more modest SPAL, which plays in Serie B. The teams drew with a score of 2:2. The Tigers failed the first half and lost it with a score of 0:2. In the second half, Davide Ballardini almost completely changed the squad and as a result, Cremonese was transformed. In the 51st minute, Daniel Ciofani scored one goal. And in the 74th minute the score was equalized by Christian Buonayuto.
"Atalanta"Gian Piero Gasperini's team played rather mediocre before the pause for the matches of the national teams, but in the final round Atalanta managed to get an important victory for themselves.
On March 17, Atalanta won a strong-willed victory over the much more modest Empoli on its own field in Bergamo, the meeting ended with a score of 2:1. Gian Piero Gasperini's team again suffered from weak implementation of moments with much more active football. Atalanta managed to lose the first half, but in the end, already in the 58th minute, the home team scored a return goal. From Matteo Ruggeri's pass, Martin de Ron sent the ball into the opponent's goal. Then Atalanta continued to play with a clear first number and already in the 86th minute the club from Bergamo still scored the winning goal, Rasmus Heilund scored an accurate shot on target of the opponent's goal.
After this success, Atalanta scored 45 points, and thus Gian Piero Gasperini's team continued to calmly go to sixth place in the standings.
Atalanta and Cremonese last played against each other on September 11 as part of the sixth round of Serie A. Then in Bergamo, the teams drew with a score of 1:1.
ForecastIn this match, Atalanta, even on the road, of course, is considered a clear favorite by the bookmakers.
After a pause, Gian Piero Gasperini's team will have to gather, but it is unlikely that Atalanta will have a simple match in Cremonese. We suggest that you bet more than 2.5 goals on the total.
