Genoa vs. Cremonese: Match Prediction
Recently, Genoa has struggled at home, with their current winless streak in Serie A extending to seven matches (2 draws, 5 losses). Notably, Genoa's defensive reliability has declined during this period, with the team keeping only two clean sheets and conceding a total of 11 goals. Previously, they had allowed only two goals in six league matches.
I believe Cremonese will have opportunities to exploit Genoa's defensive weaknesses. The team has previously performed well offensively away from home in Serie A, failing to score in only three of their last 12 matches in the Italian top flight. Moreover, Cremonese scored at least two goals in five of those encounters.
I expect the visitors to score at least once. My prediction: Cremonese individual total over 0.5
