Como - Cremonese predictions

It’s easy to point out Como as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

With a price of 6.47 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Cremonese will likely not fare well against Como. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

The odds seemed to be stacked against Como in the previous round at Fiorentina , but they managed to pull a surprise in a big way. They were losing at half-time against a much stronger opposition, but an excellent performance in the second half netted them 3 points and a stunning 1:2 victory.

Cremonese’s previous round was a home match against Parma which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.19 odds on a home win.

Win or lose, the away team seems to often participate in rather uneventful matches. For instance, the previous two featured fewer than 2 goals each, which may be the start of a trend.

With 1 point between them and a Europa League qualifying spot, the hosts’ goals for this season are clear. They should be able to wrestle 3 points away from Cremonese this Saturday.

With some decent performances behind them, Cremonese are going into this clash motivated to stay near the top of the standings. Easier said than done, however, and most of the season is still ahead of us.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.95. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
