Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 4-0
Cremonese
Stadio Olimpico will host Tuesday’s Coppa Italia game between Lazio and Cremonese, the two teams who have different ambitions in the second half of the season. The Biancocelesti are eyeing fifth consecutive win in all competitions, with the team recording a very important 1-0 triumph over Napoli at the weekend. Lazio are still in the race for the Serie A trophy, but they want to go all the way in the Italian Cup as well.
Ciro Immobile, who scored the winner against Napoli, will be the man to watch in the home team. Anyhow, given the capital club’s current form, home win should be considered. Cremonese, on the other hand, booked their place in the Coppa Italia last 16 by beating the likes of Virtus Francavilla, Hellas Verona, and Empoli. In their last meeting at Stadio Olimpico, back in 1995, Lazio defeated Cremonese 2-1, and we believe that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Lukaku):
Jordan Lukaku is well known for his older brother Romelu Lukaku, who plays for Everton as a striker. Jordan began his senior career at Anderlecht, but he made no more than eight league appearances for the club. The left-footed full-back played for fellow Belgian outfit Oostende from 2013 to 2016 and at the end of the 2015/2016 season he moved to Italy.
Jordan Lukaku signed a deal with Italian club Lazio for a fee of £5 million (plus £1 million in bonuses). His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. Speaking of his international career, Jordan Lukaku made his Belgium debut against Andorra on 10 October, 2015.
However, he has yet to find the net for the Belgian national team. Jordan was born in Antwerp on 25 July, 1994. His father Roger Lukaku was a professional footballer as well and played for the Zaire national team.
Highlighted Team (Lazio):
Lazio Roma are an Italian football club based in Rome. Lazio were founded in 1900 and they compete in the Serie A. The Biancocelesti (The White and Sky Blues) have won two Serie A trophies (1973/1974, 1999/2000), while lifting six Coppa Italia titles.
The capital club play their home games at Stadio Olimpico and Roma are regarded as Lazio’s main rivals.
The two teams face each other in the Derby della Capitale and it is considered the fiercest inter-city derby in Italy. Lazio won UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1999, with the team beating Mallorca in the title game. The same year they managed to clinch the UEFA Super Cup trophy as they outplayed English giants Manchester United at Stade Louis II, Monaco.
The likes of Pavel Nedved, Giuseppe Favalli, Juan Sebastian Veron, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Roberto Mancini, Giuseppe Signori, Miroslav Klose and Simone Inzaghi are notable footballers who played for Lazio in the past.
