Cremona Team News
Cremona has been playing solidly since the beginning of the league. It is true that they have a 1-2 record, but both defeats came against better rivals, in the last case against Venezia. That duel can be an encouragement before the next challenges, since the rival triumphed in an uncertain ending, with 79:76.
It was a match in which Cremona proved that they do not give up. The bad first quarter did not prevent this team from allowing Venezia to break it down in the sequel, but managed to overcome that situation and complicate the duel. With an excellent defensive performance in the second quarter, Cremona hinted at a turnaround in the third. That section was the best for this team, who won it in their favor with 22:14. Drama ensued, in which Venezia only broke the deadlock in the last few possessions. Marcus Zegarowski scored 21 points, while Wayne McCullough added 13.
The duel against Venezia is a real example of how Cremona should play in the following duels. Extremely firm and aggressive, without giving up until the last moment. That’s the only way a somewhat lower-quality team can deal with rivals who have stronger teams.
Reggiana Team News
Reggiana has been one of the best teams in the domestic league since the beginning of the season. After an unexpectedly convincing away win over Brindisi, this team routinely defeated Scafati, only to lose to Milano 79:68 in the opening match before this duel.
And in that match, Reggiana was not a harmless rival. They only allowed Milano nine points in the first quarter, so Ettore Messina’s team appeared to be in deep trouble. It only seemed so, because Milano showed that they can be even tougher, and in that way they simply cannot compete against the Italian expert. Then Reggiana was reduced to nine points in the second quarter as well, they woke up later offensively, but it was not enough to catch the connection against a better rival. Briante Weber scored 16 points, with five rebounds and three assists for Cremona and was the first name of that meeting, when it comes to Reggiana.
The duel against Milano is not an indication of Reggiana’s offensive play. Against Messina’s defensive machinery, much better teams couldn’t do anything more. The reality is that 87 points were scored against Brindisi and 85 for Scafati, that is, 63 and 77 were received, which indicates that this team has both offensive and defensive quality.

Cremona vs Reggiana Prediction
Cremona scored less than 80 points only once. It was in the last round against Venezia, when they were stopped at 76. Reggiana also plays efficient basketball, and the only thing that prevented her from showing they full potential on that side of the floor was Milano’s granite defense. Due to all of the above, our assessment is that in this match the number of points will exceed the offered limit.
