Cremonese take on the visitors Sampdoria in the round 11 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, October 24th at Stadio Giovanni Zini (Cremona).
Cremonese returned to Calcio after a long break. The “gray-reds” actually have almost a decade and a half in history at the level of Serie A. True, firstly, they have not risen so high for a long time, and secondly, the maximum result there was 10th place. And only in 2022, having taken the 2nd place, it was finally possible to break out of Serie B. The chances at the new level of the team were viewed with skepticism, and so far they have not been possible to pleasantly surprise. True, if at first there were 4 defeats in a row, then they managed to issue 4 draws in 6 last rounds of Calcio. Including 2-2 with Spezia on October 16th.

Sampdoria still can't get out of the crisis. They didn’t look good last season as well. To put it mildly, Giampaolo, who led the team to European competition not so long ago, was not impressed this time. And naturally, after an extremely difficult start, they parted with this specialist. At the same time, they bet on Dejan Stankovic. And the Serbian was at least able to immediately interrupt the 4-match losing streak in Calcio, issuing 1-1 with Bologna. By the way, they also tried to fight Roma, but in the end, Pellegrini's early goal (from the penalty spot in the 9th minute) became the only one. But now the club from Genoa is hanging out at the 20th posititon. It is all the more important now to show the Serb the result on Monday. When else and where can a crisis, but ambitious team win, if not on the field of a newcomer, who have not won so far in the current Serie A season? True, it is quite difficult to win on the road ...
In 1996, and after that, the teams no longer head-to-heads at the official level. The only friendly match came in the summer of 2017, when Sampdoria was able to secure a crushing 3-0 victory. Both for Cremonese and Sampdoria, the priority now is not the beauty of the game, but the result - both sides need a victory. So it's worth stopping at the offer with "total under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
