Ascoli vs Cremonese Prediction & Betting Tips (16 February)

This season, Ascoli is not at the same level as last year and is struggling with the bottom of the table by being virtually a barrage at the start of this day 17th. With 22 points, the locals are still five points behind Sampdoria. Last weekend, with the hope of making up for the poor performance at home against Sudtirol 1-2 defeat, Ascoli finally stuttered once again on the lawn of the promoted, Catanzaro 3-2, yet in front after break 1-2. We will not forget to mention that the red of Valzania at the hour of play plunged his team into defeat with the 2 goals conceded in numerical inferiority. To talk about a broader assessment, the locals have only won two of their last 14 matches in the league..

.Relegated from SA last year, Cremonese has no intention of lasting long lives in the second division Italian by occupying a consistent second place neck and neck with Como, Venezia and Palermo. The leader, Parma, seems well on its way to winning the title with a six-point lead over the visitors in the early morning. Since the start of the 2024 calendar year, in the championship, Tigri seems irresistible with five days without conceding the slightest defeat for a record of four successive victories. Last weekend, conquering the 5th, Violini finally had to settle for a draw for the reception of Reggiana 1-1.

Loaned by Cremonese precisely for the season, midfielder Valzania was excluded last weekend and will logically be suspended against his club. In any case, it would have been very possible that the latter would not be involved in the event of a clause in his loan. Injured, the team's top scorer, Pedro Mendes (10 goals) will probably be OUT like the never used, Tavcac and Bogdan. Note the probable absence of Kraja (only 5 caps this season in the league) or even the Macedonian striker, Nestorovski (2 goals in the league). In the defensive sector, Adjapong is injured while Bayeye (selected for the CAN with the RDC) could be back in competition this evening (uncertain). Opposite, started twice since his arrival this winter from Venezia, Dennis Johnsen (3 goals, 5 assists in the first half of the season) will be suspended following his exclusion during the previous day.

Usual starting goalkeeper, Sarr is injured and will probably be missing, just like his friend Jungdal (10 appearances, goalkeeper n°2) or Buonaiuto (13 appearances in the league), Pickel (3 goals) and Colloco (3 goals in 31 appearances). Note the return from suspension of Antov (17 appearances). Author of 2 goals in his last 2 league matches, SB's co-top scorer, Coda (12 goals) will probably be there. Strangely enough, he's the only one who really stands out on a personal level.
