Stadio Giovanni Zini
19 January, 2026
Overview:
Serie A Round 21 fixture between 13th-placed Cremonese (home) and 20th-placed Hellas Verona (away) at Stadio Giovanni Zini. Cremonese enters with superior league position and recent form, while Verona struggles near the relegation zone.
Recent H2H results: Cremonese 1 win, Hellas Verona 3 wins, 4 draws across all meetings
Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-0 in favor of Cremonese.
Cremonese likely to dominate possession and control match tempo at home. Verona may employ defensive structure and counter-attacking strategy given league position and form. Bonazzoli versus Montipo matchup critical - if Cremonese applies sustained pressure, their superior form should translate to scoring opportunities. Verona's defensive vulnerabilities suggest difficulty containing Cremonese's midfield creativity.
Home advantage combined with superior league position and form significantly favors Cremonese. Historical H2H shows Verona competitive but current form disparity is substantial - Verona's 2 wins in 19 matches versus Cremonese's more balanced record indicates clear quality gap. Recent 5-0 losses for Cremonese suggest inconsistency but playing at home should stabilize performance.
