Both teams are likely to produce a goal-heavy match.

Cremonese vs Verona

Cremonese host Verona in a Monday night Italian Serie A fixture, with both teams struggling to find their best form lately.

Both sides will be desperate to snap their recent slumps and head into this clash fired up. Poor defending is a similar problem with the two teams, and this clash could be set to offer up goals.

Cremonese News

Cremonese come into this clash in the middle of a rough patch, having failed to win their last six Serie A matches. Davide Nicola’s team were thrashed 5-0 at Juventus in their previous league fixture.

That result highlights one of the issues troubling Cremonese this season as they often struggle to maintain their discipline at the back. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six Serie A matches.

One positive for Cremonese is that they seem to put on a show in front of their fans and have scored first in two of their last three home matches. Three of their last five fixtures in front of their fans have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Verona News

Verona have been much worse than the hosts as they are rooted to the foot of the table after claiming just two wins in 20 League matches so far. The good news is that they are only four points from safety and will be keen to spark a resurgence.

Paolo Zanetti's team head into Monday's clash winless in their last five Serie A matches, 3-2 at home to Bologna in their previous fixture. However, they have shown some quality on their travels and recently claimed a 2-1 victory at Fiorentina and also held out for a 2-2 draw at Napoli.

Like the hosts, defending has been a problem for Verona this season, having failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine matches. All eight fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, while they have scored in three of their last four away matches.

Head to Head

Verona have six wins while Cremonese have picked up five victories, with six draws in the last 17 matches. Both teams battled to a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Cremonese v Verona

Poor defending has been a major problem for both teams this season, and they could be backed to score. Having grabbed the opening goal in two of their last three home matches, Cremonese could be backed to score first on Monday.

With eight of Verona's last nine matches producing over 2.5 goals, this clash is likely to serve up a similar outcome.
