Roma are the clear favourites coming into this clash, and it would be some surprise if they were to drop points, particularly having had a whole week’s rest. The hosts have won eight of their 12 home matches in Serie A this season, including eight of their nine against teams outside the top three.

Cremonese, meanwhile, have lost each of their last four away games, and have scored just one goal over their most recent six on the road. In fact, Davide Nicola’s men have blanked in nine of their previous 11 games across either venue, and haven’t managed a win in any of those 11 matches.

Roma breezed to a 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture, conceding only a 93rd-minute consolation goal at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.

The cards market is one area in which Cremonese do tend to excel, and backing them to rack up more than Roma is a nice option.

Across Cremonese’s last 11 matches, only Atalanta were awarded more cards than them, with this selection landing in five of their most recent six league outings. Since the start of the season, Cremonese have averaged a healthy 2.12 cards per game; meanwhile, their opponents have drawn cautions at a rate of only 1.52.

Roma have also received their fair share of cards, averaging 1.92 per game, but this falls to just 1.58 when at home, and is largely offset by their record at the other end. Roma’s opponents have averaged as many as 2.52 cards per match. This line has landed in five of Roma’s most recent seven games, with the other two ending level.
