Cremonese vs Lecce Prediction :
Cremonese is out of time to keep their top-tier status because they haven’t improved since being promoted. Lecce, on the other hand, is not in immediate danger of relegation due to their seven-point advantage over the bottom three, but a defeat here will complicate matters.
However, they can draw inspiration from their inspired performance against Roma to reenergize their quest to remain in Serie A. In a low-scoring draw, the winnings could be split.

Cremonese vs Lecce Team news :
Felix Afena-Gyan, a former primavera player for Roma, played in the midweek match against his former club and will hope to keep his place against Lecce. However, David Okereke and Emanuele Valeri are among those vying for a return to the starting lineup.
Okereke has scored in each of his last two league games, and he has three goals from outside the box, which puts him in second place in Serie A this season. Leonardo Sernicola is expected to return to the hosts’ right flank following his Coppa Italia suspension, but injuries keep Cristian Buonaiuto and Luka Lochosvhili from returning.
In the meantime, injured teammates Marin Pongracic (ankle) and Kastriot Dermaku (thigh), and newcomer Youssef Maleh (ankle) will also miss Lecce. Federico Baschirotto once more leads the back four in the absence of the latter two players:
He has made more head clearances this season than any other Italian (39), and when the teams met in Serie B, he scored at Stadio Zini against Cremonese. Pietro Ceccaroni has also joined from Venezia, giving Marco Baroni another defensive option.
Lorenzo Colombo, a Milan loanee, is expected to play in front, flanked by Gabriel Strefezza and either French forward Remi Oudin or Federico Di Francesco.
