Verona will entertain Cremonese at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in a bottom-of-the-table Serie A clash on Monday (January 9).
The hosts are in last place in the standings with just one win and six points from 16 games. Cremonese, meanwhile, have just one win all season and are in 19th place with seven points.
Verona snapped their ten-game losing streak in the league with a 1-1 draw against Torino. Milan Duric scored in the 45th minute, but Aleksei Miranchuk’s 64th-minute equaliser forced a share of the spoils.
Cremonese, meanwhile, suffered their second defeat in as many games when they lost 1-0 to Juventus, with Arkadiusz Milik scoring an injury time winner.

- The two teams have squared off 59 times across competitions since their first meeting in the erstwhile Prima Divisione in 1923.
- The hosts lead 23-17, while 19 games have ended in draws.
- They will meet for the first time since their meeting in the Coppa Italia in 2019. This will be their first Serie A clash since 1992.
- The visitors are the only Serie A team without a win this season, while Verona are winless in their last 11 games.

Prediction
Verona have suffered just one defeat at home against Cremonese since 1928 and will be hopeful of a strong display.
As both teams have struggled in front of the goal this season, a low-scoring draw could ensue.
Prediction: Verona 1-1 Cremonese
