Juventus vs Cremonese Preview


 In a clash between two teams from opposite ends of the standings, second-placed Juventus entertain 19th-placed Cremonese at the Allianz Stadium in Serie A on Sunday (May 14).

The hosts are unbeaten in three league games, winning the last two. Second-half goals from Samuel Iling-Junior and Dusan Vlahovic helped them to a 2-0 win at Atalanta on Sunday.

Juventus then drew 1-1 with Sevilla in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League semifinals on Thursday. Late drama ensued, as Federico Gatti bagged a last-gasp equaliser for the Bianconeri from a Paul Pogba assist.

Cremonese, meanwhile, are also unbeaten in three league games. They returned to winning ways after four games, as goals from Daniel Ciofani and Johan Vasquez helped them to a 2-0 home win over Spezia. With four games left, they're six points from safety, though, and look likely to go down.
