AS Roma has already achieved success since the appointment of Jose Mourinho, and the club will be hoping for more silverware this term. The Portuguese coach will be looking to mastermind a first Coppa Italia success since 2008, but they will come up against a tricky opponent in the form of Cremonese on Wednesday.
Coppa Italia Preview
The main aim for AS Roma remains to finish in a Champions League spot. However, it’s unlikely that they would be too disappointed if they finished outside the top four providing that they won a piece of silverware for the second season running under Mourinho. The Italian giants will be looking to respond after they were beaten in their previous league fixture, but they have appeared strong in this competition throughout the campaign.
Roma has reached the final of the Coppa Italia on two occasions since 2009, but they were beaten on both occasions. They look good value to go one better this term at this stage. Roma was professional in the previous round, as they edged to a 1-0 success against Genoa. The winning goal in that match was scored just after the hour mark by Paulo Dybala.
It has been a difficult campaign for Cremonese, as they sit bottom of the Serie A standings, having failed to pick up a single victory so far this term. However, they are enjoying a fine run in the Coppa Italia, having progressed excellently through the opening two rounds.
Their biggest win of the season was recorded in Naples in the previous round, as they edged out runaway Serie A leaders, Napoli, on penalties. It was a strong display by Cremonese, with Charles Pickel and Felix Afena-Gyan netting the goals. However, this looks like it will require another massive effort.
Roma vs Cremonese Head to Head
This will be the second meeting between the sides this season. The first clash was a tight affair, with AS Roma eventually landing a 1-0 win. Another cagey affair is likely on Wednesday evening in the Coppa Italia.
Roma vs Cremonese Prediction
It was a stunning display by Cremonese in the previous round to eliminate Napoli from the competition. However, their excellent run looks set to come to an end against Roma on Wednesday. We think Mourinho’s side will claim a comfortable 2-0 home success.
