Bologna vs Cremonese Prediction: Will the Red and Grey be able to consolidate their success?

Cremonese unexpectedly knocked Napoli out of the Italian Cup and will now play an away league game against Bologna. Will the Red and Grey be able to consolidate their success?

The team played their previous match on Thursday - on the road in the Italian Cup round of 16, the Red and Blue met with Lazio. Ahead of that meeting, Bologna, who previously lost they're starting forward Marko Arnautovic due to injury, also lost Nicola Sansone. So, it was unlikely that Bologna would have any attacking success. They failed to do so (0:1). Bologna dropped out of the domestic Cup.

Bologna achieved victory in the previous round of the championship, starting in 2023, with two defeats from Roma and Atalanta. The Red and Blue outplayed a tough Udinese side 2:1, thanks to goals from Posh and Sansone. Bologna is currently sitting 11th in the standings with a 13-point handicap from the relegation zone and 12 points behind the European Cup spot.

Tuesday's cup game, where Cremonese faced Napoli away, was the first at the team's helm for new head coach Davide Ballardini, who replaced the fired Massimiliano Alvini. Surprisingly, the Grays and Reds managed to reach the quarterfinals. Cremonese was 1:2 down but converted their only chance of the second half. Cremona reached the penalty spot, where he was the stronger - 3:2 (2:2).

The success in the Cup could give Cremonese an emotional boost and boost their confidence in their abilities, which the team will undoubtedly need given their difficult position in the championship. The Red and Grey have not won in 18 rounds and sit nine points back from 17th place in the standings.

None of Bologna's nine home games in this league has scored more than three goals. Let's take that as a basis here. As for the game's outcome, it is no accident that the Red and Blue are considered the favorites for the upcoming meeting. Under Thiago Motte, Bologna has improved their game and won four of their last five home games. Cremonese has enormous problems with the attack, and it is unlikely that they will be solved overnight with the arrival of head coach Davide Ballardini.
