After losing to Cremonese at this venue last season in this competition, AS Roma get a chance to avenge that loss. This Coppa Italia round-of-16 match will be played at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday with the winner going on to play Lazio in the quarter-finals. Roma are the nine-time winners of this competition although the last time they won this title was in 2007-08 season. They lost 1-0 to Juventus going into the Christmas break with two defeats across three matches. As they restart their season at home, fans will be hopeful that the magic of this venue will rub on the squad. Roma are unbeaten across their last ten home matches in all competitions, winning nine and drawing one.

Cremonese’s best run in this competition was reaching the semis, which they did last year. As part of that, they defeated AS Roma at this venue in the quarter-finals 2-1. Looking at Roma’s record at home this season, a repeat result may be out of reach – at least on paper. Additionally, Cremonese are ploughing their trade in Serie B this season and the quality of opposition is definitely lower than what they will face in this trip. They started in the round of 64 this season, winning 3-1 against Serie C club Crotone in additional extra time. They followed it up with another win in the additional extra time where they won the round of 32 in a 2-1 victory over fellow Serie B club Cittadella. All said and done, they have lost their last two away matches and could be facing a big hurdle replicating last season’s success at this venue.
