It could be a famous end to the 2022-23 season for Fiorentina, as they remain in the hunt for two major pieces of silverware. They will have home advantage for their second leg in the Coppa Italia on Thursday, as they look to see out a 2-0 advantage against Cremonese.
Coppa Italia Preview
Fiorentina could yet enjoy a historic end to the 2022-23 season, as they remain in the hunt for Europa Conference League glory, as well as a success in the Coppa Italia. The Italian giants booked their spot in the final four of the European competition last week, as they secured a 6-4 aggregate success against Lech Poznan. However, defeat in that fixture, coupled with a Serie A loss at the weekend means that they have now lost each of their previous two in all competitions.
Fiorentina comes into this second leg with a sizable advantage, as they landed a 2-0 win over Cremonese back at the start of April. Arthur Cabral opened the scoring in that success after 20 minutes, before a crucial second effort was added by Nicolas Gonzalez with 15 minutes remaining.
Cremonese will be aware of the size of the challenge ahead of them, as they will also be without Emanuel Aiwu for this second leg. They were extremely disappointing in their home leg, as they managed just three shots on target, and they looked a shadow of the side that managed to eliminate Napoli earlier in the competition.
But, they will take confidence from Fiorentina’s recent poor run of form across all competitions. However, it still remains a tall order, as Cremonese comes into this match after suffering a 3-0 defeat against Udinese in their previous fixture in Serie A.
Fiorentina vs Cremonese Head to Head
Fiorentina has won all three matches that they have played against Cremonese this season. They have managed to keep clean sheets in each of the previous two. However, this exact fixture in the league earlier in the season was a competitive showdown, with Fiorentina edging to a 3-2 success.
Fiorentina vs Cremonese Prediction
We find it incredibly challenging to see Cremonese managing to reach the Coppa Italia final after losing the first leg. It may be a tense night in Florence, but we still expect the hosts to secure a win to nil on Thursday.
