Prediction: 2-0
Cremonese
Roma will look to kick off 2024 in great manner when they take on Cremonese at their Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday evening. The Giallorossi failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Juventus in the Serie A derby, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat Giovanni Stroppa’s troops on home soil. Both Chris Smalling and Tammy Abraham are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
Cremonese, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Le Tigri experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Palermo and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Roma’s party in the “Eternal City”. As for the Serie B side, both Alessio Brambilla and Mouhamadou Sarr are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Rui Patricio):
Sporting Lisbon and Portugal national team goalkeeper Rui Patricio is a one-club man. He was reportedly close to signing with Serie A giants Inter Milan during the 2008 of-season, but he remained in his club where he will most likely hang up his boots when the time comes. The 28-year-old shot stopper spent most of his career with the Lions making his debut with the first-team at only 18 years of age.
Rui Patricio went on to appear in more than 350 official games for the Portugal greats and remains the first-choice keeper for his club and country. Having gone through all the youth selections with the national team, Rui Patricio was given his first senior cap in 2010 after Paulo Bento’s appointment.
Rui Patricio represented his national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and three European Championships. The 28-year-old was the mainstay in Portugal’s historic Euro 2016 title in France.
