This weekend’s Serie A schedule involves key games at both ends of the table and these Cremonese vs. Atalanta predictions offer an update on the latest picture. Cremonese are fighting for top-flight survival in the season run-in, with Atalanta pushing for Europe.
Cremonese vs. Atalanta odds
1 – Atalanta to win – 7/10
2 – Atalanta under 2.5 total goals – 4/11
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 21/20
4 – Both teams not to score – 21/10
5 – Atalanta to win 2-0 – 15/2
This contest shows just some of the different battles looking to be settled before the end of the 2022-23 Serie A campaign in the coming weeks.
Cremonese head into this tie needing a miracle to avoid relegation, with 11 games left on the schedule and an 11-point gap to safety. Atalanta endured their worst run of form this season during March, but they remain inside the Europa League places with a potential shot at Champions League qualification.
Relegation looks to be a foregone conclusion for Cremonese, despite picking up five points from their last five games. Meanwhile, Atalanta will be confident of picking up a morale-boosting victory on the road, as Gian Piero Gasperini looks to shake off their inconsistency.
As Atalanta’s form has continued to stutter in 2023, the goals have dried up, with just five goals scored in their last six outings – and they have failed to score over 2.5 goals in their last eight matches in Serie A. There has also been a reduction in the number of goals scored overall in their matches, with only two of those eight games featuring over 2.5 scored inside 90 minutes of action.
All signs point to a low-scoring contest, with Cremonese’s own goal return of three goals in their last four home matches not inspiring much confidence for the hosts.
Gasperini will view this as a necessary routine win. But poor 2023 is likely to cost Atalanta their chance of a Champions League place before the end of the season. They do remain in a strong position to at least seal Europa League football, with Cremonese dropping to Serie B likely to be confirmed before the end of April.
