Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Fiorentina will look to get off to a flying start to the season when they host Cremonese to their Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday evening. The Viola were having their ups and downs in pre-season, with the team failing to impress in their last warm-up game against Real Betis (1-3). Summer signing Luka Jovic is expected to shine in the violet shirt, and, no doubt, all eyes will be on the former Real Madrid striker in Sunday’s clash.
The newcomers, on the other hand, are on a quest to stay in the Serie A as longer as possible, but that is easier said than done. Cremonese are not regarded as good travellers; therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Fiorentina’s party at Stadio Artemio Franchi. When the two teams met in a friendly last month Fiorentina rolled over Cremonese 7-1.
Highlighted Player (Erick Pulgar):
Eric Pulgar is a Chilean international who started his senior career at Deportes Antofagasta. Pulgar is a 186-cm-tall midfielder, who is capable of playing as a centre back as well and he is well known for his speed. After making 38 league appearances for the club he joined fellow Chilean outfit Universidad Catolica in 2014.
The deal was confirmed on 28 June, 2014 and the Chilean defender joined los Cruzados for a fee of $ 500 000. In 2015 he decided to move to Europe and he signed a contract with Bologna for an undisclosed fee. The deal was sealed on 20 August. Erick Pulgar represented Chile at the 2016 Copa America, but he made no more than one appearance for La Roja at the tournament in USA.
He came on as a substitute to replace injured midfielder Pablo Hernandez in a 2-0 win over Colombia. It is well known that Chile won the 2016 Copa America, beating star-studded Argentina in the title game.
