Fiorentina vs Cremonese Prediction & Betting Tips (4 January)

Not expected to struggle so much this season, Fiorentina will have to work hard to avoid going downhill. La Viola is simply last in Serie A and is 5 points behind the first non-relegation team. Unable to win during the first 15 days, 6 draws and 9 defeats, the Tuscans unlocked their victory counter by crushing Udinese at home 5-1. Unfortunately, they were unable to follow through. Fiorentina lost on the lawn of Parma last weekend 1-0.

Back in the elite this season, Cremonese is for the moment keeping a good distance from the fight so as not to go down. The promoted team now occupies 12th place in Serie A, 9 points ahead of the red zone. After stringing together two victories, Jamie Vardy's teammates began a less positive dynamic. They took home a good point from Lazio 0-0 but otherwise lost to Torino 1-0 and Napoli last weekend 0-2.
