Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Torino and Cremonese square off against each other at Stadio Olimpico di Torino in the closing match of Serie A round 23. Il Toro have been having their ups and downs in recent weeks, with the team sharing the spoils with Empoli, beating Udinese, while losing to Milan in their last league match. Ivan Juric’s men aim to keep their Europa League hopes alive, and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. The likes of Berisha, Pellegri, Ricci, Zima, and Lazaro remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The rock-bottom side, on the other hand, failed to spoil Napoli’s party at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at the weekend, and given their shaky defence, we predict that Torino are going to emerge triumphant in Monday’s clash. As for the visitors, all Lochoshvili, Quagliata, Okereke, and Dessers are out of contention through injuries.
