On Wednesday, AS Roma and Cremonese will face off in the Coppa Italia semi-finals at the Stadio Olimpico. After losing in Serie A, both teams will be looking to quickly get back to winning ways in the midweek matchup. As a result of their 2-1 defeat to Napoli in Serie A on Sunday, AS Roma failed to qualify for the Europa League.
Prior to that, Jose Mourinho’s team had gone seven games without losing in any competition, winning six of those games and drawing one. Now, Roma is focusing on the Coppa Italia, where they beat Genoa 1-0 on January 12 to start their season. Last time out, Cremonese lost 2-1 to Inter Milan, which was their first defeat of the season in Serie A.
Since the beginning of the year, they have failed to win five of their six competitive games, losing four and drawing one. They have, however, performed much better in the Coppa Italia, winning a stunning penalty shootout against Napoli on January 17 to advance to the quarterfinals against Roma.

Roma vs Cremonese Head to head :
This will be the teams’ second meeting, with Roma winning narrowly by a score of 1-0 in their first meeting in August. With the exception of Sunday’s defeat to Napoli, Jose Mourinho’s team has won all but one of their last eight games in all competitions.
Cremonese has lost 11 of their last 12 away games, drawing six of those matches and losing five. Since losing 3-0 to Cadiz in a friendly match in December, Roma has won five straight games at home.
Roma vs Cremonese Team news :
Due to a thigh flexor injury sustained in Naples, Jose Mourinho will now be without Leonardo Spinazzola for the next few weeks, further reducing his options in either wingback position. After a disagreement with Roma coach Rick Karsdorp, he is still not popular, but Zeki Celik is back from suspension, so Stephan El Shaarawy may not have to play wide.
Diego Llorente, a Spanish center-back who is expected to sign for Leeds United, has agreed to join the Italian capital on loan for six months, but will not be present on Wednesday; Following the forward’s unsuccessful exit from the Olimpico, Nicolo Zaniolo joins Karsdorp out in the cold, and Georginio Wijnaldum is still completing his recovery from a lengthy injury layoff.
Young prospects like Benjamin Tahirovic and Edoardo Bove should also get some playing time, and one or two regulars should get a rare rest before Empoli’s weekend visit.
In the meantime, Charles Pickel is back from a one-match suspension and Cremonese has a squad that is almost fully fit. Marco Benassi, a Swiss midfielder who scored against Napoli in the round of 16, made his substitute debut on Saturday, but both players could start in Rome.
