Coppa Italia picks for Crotone vs. Cremonese

Before you tune in to Monday's match, you need to see the Coppa Italia picks from betting expert Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

Sutton finished 2022 as SportsLine's top soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He also excelled in Serie A with a 63-39-1 mark, returning nearly $1,600.

For Cremonese vs. Crotone, Sutton is picking both teams to score for a -115 payout. Both clubs have made recent Serie A appearances but found themselves relegated and the state of soccer financially in Italy means playing in the lower leagues is often unsustainable from a business standpoint. Now both teams are hoping to begin their climbs back to the top and they need every dollar they can muster from domestic cup play.

"Cremonese were relegated from Serie A last season, in large part due to their leaky defense," Sutton told SportsLine. "Cremonese gave up 69 goals a season ago, the second most in Serie A. Cremonese's lineup will look different after being relegated, which could lead to defensive errors. Cremonese are the heavy favorites for a reason in this matchup, but I think we'll see both teams find the back of the net on Monday." Stream the game here.
