- Competition: Serie B
- Date: Friday, 9th May 2025
- Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
- Venue: Stadio Alberto Picco (La Spezia)
Spezia played according to the preseason expectations this season. They are third on the table and will have the opportunity to win Serie A promotion through the playoffs. However, Spezia are not in a perfect moment as they have won only one of the last four matches. In the previous game, Spezia lost 2-1 on the road against Reggiana. The guests had ball possession on their side (65%), but they lacked creativity. Spezia created xG of only 0.67 and have to work on that in the coming weeks.
Cremonese can be satisfied with the season, too. They are fourth on the table and will be part of the playoffs, too. Cremonese are in a good run of nine games without defeat. Last weekend, they played 1-1 at home against Sassuolo. The home side had a perfect opportunity for all three points as they finished the match with 59% ball possession and 15 shots on goal more than the opponent, but eventually, the teams split the points.
Spezia vs Cremonese pick: Both teams to score - yes
Spezia scored at least one goal in each of the previous five games. On the other hand, Cremonese scored in 11 of the last 12 matches. We should see both teams scoring on Friday night at Stadio Alberto Picco.
