The match between Cremonese and Fiorentina is a crucial clash for survival in Serie A. The two teams are separated by just one point on the edge of the relegation zone, making the match a real six-point match. Cremonese are on a difficult run without a win in their last 14 matches in the championship. They need a mandatory victory to get out of the relegation zone. They lost 1-2 to Lecce at the weekend, which further increased the pressure on coach Davide Nicola. Fiorentina are also experiencing a nightmare season in Italy, but enter the match with high self-confidence after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Polish side Rakow in the Conference League last week. Paolo Vanoli's team has just one point ahead of their opponent. Cremonese defender Giuseppe Pezzella is not available due to red card, while Federico Baschirotto and Michele Colocolo are injured. The good news is the return of Filippo Terracciano and the good form of veteran Jamie Vardy, who is expected to lead the attack along with Federico Bonazzoli. Fiorentina big star Moise Keane is questionable due to shin pain. Tariq Lamptey and Manor Solomon are permanently injured. David de Gea, Dodo and Nicolo Fagioli are all expected to return to the starting line-up after being rested in Europe.
