Cremonese won the promotion last season by finishing 2nd in Serie B, but they are facing instant relegation this year. They are 19th with 24 points from 35 matches - six points away from the safe zone with only three rounds left.
Cremonese were awful in the first part of the season and looked like by far the worst team in Serie A. Their first win in the league occurred in the 24th round! But recently, they were solid, with only two losses in the previous eight games. Unfortunately for them, it is too late.
Bologna won the promotion to Serie A in the 2014/15 season. In the next seven seasons, they were between 10th and 15 places in Serie A. This season it looked like they would finally make a step forward and secure Europe. They last played in Europe in 2002, when they competed in Intertoto Cup.
With only four points in the previous six matches in Serie A, Bologna dropped in the standings, and now they are without a chance to move significantly in the standings. Currently, they are 11th with 47 points - 11 away from the 7th-placed Atalanta, and with just three matches left, they have nothing to play for.
Cremonese vs Bologna pick: Under 2.5 goals
Lately, Cremonese played only low-scoring games, and the previous five finished with fewer than three goals.

Bologna are in bad form, with zero wins in the last six games. During that period, they scored five goals.
Bologna were three times under 2.5 goals in the last four games.
In the first h2h match this season, we have seen a 1:1 draw.
