Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sunday’s game at Stadio Via del Mare will bring down the curtain on day 20 of the current Serie B campaign. The Giallorossi are determined to return to the Italian top flight, and seeing that they produced a fine display in the Coppa Italia clash with Roma, it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to beat Cremonese. Midfielder Romario Benzar is banned for Lecce, who have yet to suffer a loss at home ground this term.
The visitors, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the Serie B. Since Cremonese are likely to go for a win as well, we believe that both teams to score betting option should be considered. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
Highlighted Player (Fabio Lucioni):
Fabio Lucioni is a product of Ternana football school. Lucioni played for the youth team of Ternana from 2002 to 2005 and he eventually made 14 appearances for the first team. The 185-cm-tall defender played for the likes of Monopoli, Noicattaro, Gela, Barletta, Spezia and Reggina in the past as well before joining Benevento in 2014.
Lucioni has established himself as a first-team regular at the club and it has to be noted that he scored three goals in 46 appearances for Benevento in the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign. The Stregoni secured promotion to the Serie A by beating Carpi in the play-offs final, meaning that Lucioni will have a chance to test a top-flight football in the 2017/2018 season.
Lucioni’s main position is centre-back and his contract with Benevento expires on June 30, 2018. The left-footed defender, who was born in Terni on September 25, 1987, has yet to earn a call-up for the Italian national football team.
