Juventus-Cremonese is a match in the 35th day of Serie A and is played Sunday at 8:45 p.m.: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
A goal from Gatti as time expired on Thursday allowed Juventus to narrowly avoid what by then looked like a certain defeat to Sevilla. In the Europa League semifinal first leg, the Bianconeri literally saved themselves “on a corner kick” – the former Frosinone man’s goal stemmed precisely from a corner – and next week, in Spain, they can restart from the 1-1 draw at the Allianz Stadium. The Budapest final, in short, is still within reach, although the Lady will have to go for the win at the “Sanchez Pizjuan”.
Massimiliano Allegri’s men thus miss what would have been their third consecutive victory after those achieved in the league with Lecce and Atalanta. Good, on the whole, the match in Bergamo, with Juventus good at striking at the right time (0-2) with young Iling Junior, among the best on the field, and with the rediscovered Vlahovic, scoring against both the Salentini and the Orobici. In any case, as has often been the case in this troubled season, the Bianconeri were joined during the week by another piece of news that was anything but pleasant and concerned the well-known extra-field vicissitudes. From the motivations published by the Collegio di Garanzia del Coni on the capital gains case, it can be guessed that Juventus will be penalized again in the trial to be held before the Federal Court of Appeal on May 22. The Champions League, therefore, is again at risk: the Bianconeri’s ranking is about to be revolutionized for the second time.
The impossible comeback of Cremonese
We are navigating by sight, in short. With Allegri who at this point might decide to go all-in on the Europa League, the least impassable road to playing the cup with the big ears
La Cremonese
Then it will be turnover in the postponement against Cremonese, whose salvation hopes remained intact thanks to the saving victory in the direct clash with Spezia (2-0), which allows Davide Ballardini’s team to still give itself a small chance of survival. The grigiorossi do not want to give up despite their precarious position in the standings. And this is evidenced by the six positive results – including a draw with Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia semifinal – obtained in their last seven matches. An eventual defeat in Turin in any case would be detrimental: ahead of Spezia and Verona have stretched and, waiting to know the outcome of the match between the Scaligeri and Torino, Cremonese as of today has to recover six points on the fourth-last with four days left to play.
Juventus-Cremonese: latest lineup news
The Juventus coach must do without Bonucci and De Sciglio: the latter has finished the season, while the captain has an adductor problem and will miss Cremonese. Bremer is also in doubt: the Brazilian has to cope with a thigh strain and in his place in the defensive trio could play Rugani, between Danilo and Gatti. At the direction Paredes is back, while on the left lane Iling Jr. will make Kostic refresh. In front, Chiesa-Milik.
In Cremonese, the two strikers Tsadjout and Dessers are out, as well as the disqualified Pickel. Ballardini’s only doubt is in the three-quarter, where it’s a ballot between Galdames and Benassi.
The prediction
Juventus has rarely committed missteps in front of their own public this year. And it is no coincidence that bianconeri boast the best home performance along with Italian champion Napoli with 12 wins, three draws and two defeats (14 goals conceded). For Cremonese it is another last resort but a success for the grigiorossi at the Stadium, despite a Juve distracted by the Europa League, seems like science fiction at the moment. As in most home challenges for Allegri’s men, the total goals could be less than three, a constant when the Bianconeri play at home.
The probable lineups of Juventus-Cremonese
- JUVENTUS (3-5-2): Perin; Gatti, Rugani, Danilo; Cuadrado, Fagioli, Paredes, Miretti, Iling jr.; Chiesa, Milik.
- CREMONESE (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi; Ferrari, Vasquez, Lochoshvili; Sernicola, Castagnetti, Meité, Valeri; Galdames; Okereke, Ciofani.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-0
