Cremonese vs Venezia in the Serie B play-off match took place today at the Giovanni Zini Stadium which is also Cremonese home ground and for the first leg the match ended in 0 - 0 draw but in their match it was clear that Venezia defense was correct really strong and not easy to penetrate.
Second leg will take place in three days and it is also home match for Venice, they have the advantage in the second leg and should be able to make good use of everything to achieve victory.
Holding 1 goal lead would be big win for Venezia if they take advantage of this home match and in that way Venezia is also guaranteed to be the third team to be promoted to Serie A next season.
For Serie A itself, there is still one match between Atalanta vs Fiorentina and in this match Atalanta is the favorite team to win.
If Atalanta wins then they will save an additional 3 points and that way Atalanta will indirectly shift the standings to 3th place and put Juventus in 4th place.
It will be interesting to understand which of the two will be able to enter the top division
if I am not mistaken, Venezia has probably already been in Serie A, but I might have some memory problems
I absolutely don`t remember Cremonese.
It will be a very hard-fought match since the winner goes to Serie A
Yes, this is what gives special interest in the play-off deciding match, both of them are fighting for victory to get promotion tickets to Serie A and competing against several strong teams from Setie A who always dominate.
For the two Venezia and Cremonese team, they actually recently played in Serie A, but it was shame that the last time they were promoted, they only played for one season because they performed poorly and were in the relegation zone until they finally returned to Serie B competition.
For Venice, they won promotion and played in Serie A in the 2021/22 season but unfortunately they ended the season at the bottom of the rankings when they only had 27 points and 6 wins until they were finally relegated.
Cremonese itself played in the 2022/23 last season when they were promoted to Serie A but their performance was also poor with 27 points and 5 wins, this is also what led them to be relegated.
But now both of them have the opportunity to fight for promotion place, they have to beat each other in the second leg, as I said, with just 1 goal lead, one of them will be able to enter Serie A next season.
