Naples Team News
If anyone had doubts about this generation of Napoli, after the derby with Juventus in the last round, there is no longer any doubt. Luciano Spalletti’s team demolished Juventus with a score 5-1 in front of their fans on Friday night. Napoli showed everyone that they are taking big steps towards their first Scudetto after more than three decades.
Napoli is playing phenomenally this season, they are convincingly first in the table with 47 points won. That is even 9 points more than the current champion Milan, and 10 compared to Juventus and Inter, who occupy third and fourth place.
The team from the south of Italy is playing amazing in their stadium this season. They have played 12 games in all competitions, and the result is 11 wins and one draw.
They only drew against Lecce (1-1). They will try to transfer their great form from the championship to the cup matches, so in the next match against Cremonese we expect nothing but a routine victory.
Cremonese Team News
After defeats against Juventus and Verona, in the last round Cremonese experienced another defeat against Monza with a score of 2-3. In that match, the visitors led 3-0, then the home team managed to reduce the advantage in front of their fans in the second half, but did not equalize.
It was the last hope, so the club management decided to fire Massimiliano Alvini. So Davide Ballardini was appointed as the new coach, who will try to save the club from Lombardy from relegation from the league.

Luciano Spalletti’s team will definitely want to confirm their dominance in the Italian Cup as well. Napoli is great in front of their fans. They won seven out of eight opponents at home conceding at least three goals.
On the other hand, Cremonese is the main candidate for relegation, so we expect a routine triumph of Napoli with a higher number of goals and an easy passage to the next round of the competition.
