Bitesize Prediction: Cremonese vs Spezia – 29/05/25

Competition: Serie B play-off final

Market: Cremonese double chance

Odds: 2/5 @ BetUS

Two camps who will be desperate to claim a first-leg advantage on Thursday night, Cremonese will welcome Spezia to the Stadio Giovanni Zini.

Starting with the hosts, mounting a remarkable comeback at home against Juve Stabia last weekend, Cremonese will be desperately seeking a repeat performance here. Storming their way to a 3-0 romp in Lombardy, Giovanni Stroppa’s side will know the importance of claiming a first-leg advantage on Thursday night. Despite signing off their regular-season adventure with a 2-1 loss at the hands of Pisa, the Tigers have lost just a pair of their previous 13 showdowns against Serie B opposition. With that run stemming back to a 2-1 defeat against Cesena on February 22nd, Cremonese will be excited by their rugged success on home soil. Including an action-packed 4-2 win against Mantova last month, the former Monza boss has seen his squad suffer just a sole defeat in front of their own supporters since the start of December. Likewise, the Lombardy-based outfit have bagged at least a pair of goals in seven of their last 10 matchups at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.

As for the visitors, while Spezia might have only just clung to their Serie B status last season, the Little Eagles have come roaring back in a sensational fashion this time around. Extending on their play-off adventure last weekend as they stormed their way to a 4-1 aggregate win against Catanzaro, Luca D’Angelo’s men will travel to Lombardy on Thursday night enjoying what has become a recent flurry. Signing off their regular-season adventure with a stellar 3-1 romp against Cosenza, Spezia have also found a recent clinical edge in the final third. Getting May underway with a 2-0 victory at home against Salernitana, the former Pisa boss has seen his squad notch at least a pair of strikes in eight of their previous nine outings. However, despite their recent purple patch, it should be highlighted that the Liguria-based outfit have notched just a single victory on their travels since the start of February.
