Empoli - Genoa

Strong debut for Cremonese in the top league, success against Milan and a decent game against Sassuolo team, which last year also earned their spot in the top league - a dream debut, to say the least. It is also intriguing when James Vardy will debut for this team, but I don't think he will show such performance for long, unless the Vardy effect works like it did with Leicester...the team is very interesting, playing an attacking style of game, which is not very common for newcomers in the league, especially when trying to establish themselves in the top league, which is favorable for these matches and my two bets. Verona, although more inclined to play defensively, especially against stronger teams (not talking about these opponents), which are similar in level in my eyes and should make Verona's game much braver, compared to their usual style, more open with constant attacks, however Verona noticeably lacks in defense, with two main players injured and unavailable, which is a big disadvantage, their mistakes are very childish. Looking at the Cremonese team with the Sanabria and Franco Vazquez duo, they could cause a lot of problems, even though Vasquez is an experienced player, but still has something to offer, his experience allows him to create opportunities and I think we will see something similar as with the previous opponents, hopefully Cremonese can start scoring goals, which would liven up Verona's players going forward and then I believe we could see a lot of goals, as Verona is, I would say, a better team on paper at the moment, but their defense is suffering greatly without their two key players, which I think can be exploited.

Strong debut for Cremonese in the top league, success against Milan and a decent level game against the Sassuolo team, which also earned the right to play in the top league last year - a dream debut, no doubt. It is also intriguing when James Vardy will make his debut with this team, but I don't think he will play at such a level for long, unless the Vardy effect works like it did with Leicester... The team is very interesting, playing an attacking style of football, which is not very common for newcomers in the league, especially in trying to establish themselves in the top league, which is quite favorable for these competitions and my two decisions. Verona, although more prone to playing defensively, especially against stronger teams (not to mention these opponents), who are in a similar level in my eyes and should essentially play a bolder game against Verona, compared to their usual style of play and opening up with over attacks, but Verona noticeably has losses in the defense line, two key players cannot help due to injuries and this is clearly felt, their mistakes are very childish, and looking at the Cremonese team, the tandem of Sanabria and Franco Vazquez could cause quite a few problems, although Vazquez is already a solid age, but he still has energy left, his experience allows him to create opportunities, and I believe that today we will see something similar to the previous opponents, hoping that Cremonese starts with goals, which would enliven Verona's players to move forward, and then I think we could see a good amount of goals overall, as Verona is, I would say, a better team on paper at the moment, but their defense is suffering without two main players and I think we can take advantage of that.

As I mentioned earlier, Cremonese are trying hard to connect in their attacks and I believe that while Verona struggles with defenders, Cremonese could surprise with goals tonight. My choice will be an experienced forward, although it may not be his main position, but at this moment he is playing this way, age is catching up with him, but his experience still allows him to amaze opponents and I believe that with such a high odds, it is worth placing a small bet on this player.

After two great games against Peru Cremonese, they can continue their fantastic start in the league. The away win against not just anyone, but Milan, and the fact that Sassoulo was beaten in the last moments of the match, shows that Cremonese is a very solid club. Currently in good form and having some success, Cremonese is playing against one of the worst teams in the league. For Verona, this will be the first game of the season played at home, and the previous matches do not inspire much confidence, not at all like Cremonese.
