Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Giovanni Zini will host Sunday’s matinee between Cremonese and Brescia, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. I Grigiorossi aim to stay in top four in the standings and they must be high on confidence following a 1-0 win over Cesena. Marco Nasti serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while Jari Vandeputte is pushing for a start after scoring the winner against the Bianconeri.
Le Rondinelle, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. Brescia are on a seven-game winless run in the Italian second tier and giving Cremonese’s fine performance against Cesena, home win should be considered. Pierpaolo Bisoli has a luxury to field the best possible side against I Grigiorossi. In their last meeting at the venue Cremonese defeated Brescia 1-0, with Gonzalo Abrego scoring the only goal of the match.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
