The Coppa Italia match between AS Roma and Cremonese will take place at Stadio Olimpico on Thursday at 1:30 am IST.
Starting their Coppa Italia journey in the round of 16, Roma hosts Serie B standout team Cremonese at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday. Under Jose Mourinho’s leadership, Roma aims to secure a spot in the quarter-finals against their arch-rivals Lazio and is motivated by a desire to avenge last year’s cup loss to Cremonese.
Roma, currently seventh in Serie A, showcases potential in cup competitions, notably in the Europa League under Jose Mourinho. Despite their recent success, Roma faced a surprising 2-1 Coppa Italia exit against Cremonese last year. Given a bye this season due to their prior league performance, they confront Cremonese again. Mourinho’s drive for trophies motivates Roma, aspiring to surpass Inter Milan’s Coppa success and challenge Juventus’s record. While they face challenges in Serie A, Roma’s formidable home record and past setbacks fuel their determination for revenge against Cremonese in the upcoming Coppa clash.
Nearly a year after their surprising Coppa Italia win against Roma, Cremonese returns to Rome aiming for a repeat. Remembered for last season’s Coppa run, where they reached the semi-finals, defeating top teams like Roma and Napoli, Cremonese’s journey continues this year. Under Giovanni Stroppa, they secured a spot in the last 16 with victories over Cittadella and his former club, Crotone. Despite challenges, including a setback against Palermo, Cremonese remains determined for Serie B promotion. As they face Roma again, Stroppa’s team eagerly anticipates another shot at the spotlight in the Coppa Italia.
Roma probable starting lineup: Svilar, Celik, Cristante, Llorente, Karsdorp, Bove, Sanches, Pellegrini, El Shaarawy, Azmoun, Belotti
Cremonese probable starting lineup: Jungdal, Antov, Ravanelli, Bianchetti, Ghiglione, Collocolo, Castagnetti, Pickel, Sernicola, Vazquez, Okereke
