Cremonese preview: Struggling Cremonese
Having begun extremely well following their promotion and the subsequent appointment of Davide Nicola, Cremonese's season has collapsed and they now begin the 33rd match day sitting outside of the danger zone on goal difference.
The home team, now with Marco Giampaolo at the helm, succumbed to a 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Cagliari in a so-called 'six-pointer' with Sebastiano Esposito scoring a winner mid-way through the second-half.
Torino preview: Solid and improving
They now face a Torino side that have again been underwhelming throughout this campaign but the visitors have been able to ease themselves into the middle-of-the-table with some improved form of late.
The visitors most recently defeated relegation-bound Hellas Verona by two goals to one in Piedmont with goals from Giovanni Simeone and Cesare Casadei at Stadio Grande Torino last weekend.
Cremonese team news: Maleh suspended
Defensive midfielder Yousef Maleh is missing through suspension for this weekend, while the likes of Morten Thorsby and Jamie Vardy remain injury doubts, too, for this one.

Torino team news: Fresh injuries

Predicted XI (3-4-1-2): Paleari; Saul Coco, Guillermo Maripan, Ebosse; Pedersen, Casadei, Gineitis, Rafa Obrador; Vlasic; Giovanni Simeone, Adams
Unavailable: Aboukhlal (Injured)
Questionable: Ismajli (Injured), Nkounkou (Injured), Duvan Zapata (Injured)
Cremonese vs Torino prediction
Torino's victory has ensured that they have now won three of their last four matches and there has been a general improvement since the appointment of former Benevento and Empoli coach Roberto D'Aversa. They travel to Cremona looking to finish their season with a flourish and the hosts are struggling for any sort of quality of form and so an away win is to be expected for this one on Sunday.
