Cremonese v Fiorentina Betting Tips [5 April 2023]

The battle to make it to the final of this season’s Coppa Italia will continue this week with Cremonese hosting Fiorentina in the first match of their two-legged semifinal tie. The return match will be played in three weeks’ time in Florence and will see the winner advance to play either Juventus or Inter Milan in the final. Cremonese will be happy to be returning to a competition that they have had the most success this season. Davide Ballardini’s men have struggled all season long in the Serie A and with 10 matches left to play, are in danger of being the first team to be relegated. But the Coppa provides a welcomed destruction and they will hope continued success in the competition will translate to the league. Le Tigri have defeated Roma and Napoli on their way to this round and this should have Fiorentina weary. They however come to this match after suffering their fifth defeat in the last eight matches when they went down 3-1 at home to Atalanta over the weekend.

Fiorentina will know that it isn’t a fluke that Cremonese have advanced this far into the competition and will approach this match with the same vigour that has seen them win their last eight matches across all competitions. Apart from having them maintain in the top 10 in the Serie A (9th), this rich vein of form has also seen Vincenzo Italiano’s men advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League. This is the fourth time in the last nine seasons that Fiorentina have made it to the last four of the Coppa Italia and on all but one of those occasions, they were eliminated with the most recent disappointment coming last season. They arrive for this clash after defeating Inter Milan 1-0 away from home in the league.

It is only in the Coppa that Cremonese have not been dominated by the opposition this season. They will fancy their chances once again as they take on a team in completely contrasting form to them coming into this match. But despite their successes in the Cup, it is hard to overlook how Fiorentina have been dominant and for this, we conclude that Cremonese v Fiorentina will produce an away win.
