This is undoubtedly the big match of the thirty-fifth day of Serie B, between two teams still in the race for direct promotion. Respectively third and fourth in the standings, separated by 4 points, Venezia and Cremonese are ready to do battle in a challenge that puts really heavy points at stake.
The lagoon players in case of a win would reach Como second at 67 points, for the grigiorossi on the other hand it is one of the last chances to avoid the playoffs and return directly to the top division. The team led by Giovanni Stroppa may have definitely lost the Serie A “train” last Saturday in Catanzaro, slipping to -7 from the Larians: in Calabria, Cremonese had to settle for a draw (0-0), missing the appointment with the three points for the fourth time in the last five days. The only success of Bianchetti and his teammates since mid-March was the one obtained in Bari three weeks ago, then the unexpected defeat at home with Ternana and finally the white-net draw at the “Ceravolo”. Diametrically opposite moment instead in the lagoon, where Paolo Vanoli’s men are still euphoric because of the consecutive victories with Brescia and Lecco, which allowed the arancioneroverdi to get closer to the second place. Increasingly lethal, meanwhile, Finnish striker Pohjanpalo, who has now reached 20 league goals.
Venice-Cremonese: latest lineup news
Vanoli is expected to confirm Lecco’s 3-5-2, with the untouchable Pohjanpalo in attack, supported by Pierini. Bjarkason will act on the left, while Candela will act on the other side. The defense will consist of Sverko, Svoboda and Idzes.
On the other side, the big absentee is former Johnsen, who was suspended by the sports judge. Up front, the Coda-Vazquez tandem is back, with Falletti and Tsadjout ready to help from the bench. Collocolo returns from disqualification.
The Prediction
Since December, Venezia have lost only once in front of their home crowd. The lagunari at the moment seem to be better off than Cremonese, who arrived at the end of the season with breathlessness, and have all the cards to at least avoid defeat. Unlike in the first leg – the grigiorossi prevailed 1-0 – at least one goal on each side is to be expected.
The probable lineups of Venezia-Cremonese
VENEZIA (3-5-2): Joronen; Idzes, Svoboda, Sverko; Candela, Busio, Tessmann, Andersen, Steinn Bjarkason; Pohjanpalo, Pierini.
CREMONESE (3-5-2): Saro; Antov, Bianchetti, Ravanelli; Zanimacchia, Pickel, Castagnetti, Collocolo, Sernicola; Vasquez, Coda.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-1
