Cremonese vs Sassuolo prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-08-28 16:30.
[p]Cremonese have a chance to start a top-flight campaign with back-to-back wins when they play fellow promoted side Sassuolo in this matchday two fixture.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Cremonese celebrated their Serie A return with a stunning 2-1 away win over AC Milan last Saturday, which was the perfect way to bounce back from a penalties defeat to Palermo in the Coppa Italia the week beforehand. Head coach Davide Nicola will be aiming to secure survival as soon as possible, and another three points here would extend a seven-match unbeaten run at the Stadio Giovanni Zini (W3, D4). Further reason for optimism can be found in the fact that Cremonese have won three of their last five top-flight home fixtures (D1, L1).[/p]
[p]Sassuolo started their campaign with a 2-0 loss at home to defending champions Napoli, in what was a tough initiation back into the top-flight. The Neroverdi have now lost three of their last four competitive games (W1), with the lone exception coming in the form of a 1-0 Coppa Italia win over Serie B side Catanzaro. Playing a fellow promoted side makes this clash crucial in the longer scheme of survival, but Fabio Grosso’s men need to arrest a winless seven-game streak in the top flight (D2, L5) to kickstart their return to Serie A. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]There’s little to separate these sides in overall competitive H2Hs (CRE: W5, D3, L4). Cremonese picked up four points in last season’s Serie B clashes, while Sassuolo did the same (W1, D1) in their last two top-flight meetings in the 2022/23 season.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Ten of Cremonese’s last 15 Serie A home matches saw under 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Eleven of Cremonese’s last 14 league matches saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Sassuolo’s last seven competitive games saw under 2.5 goals.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Federico Bonazzoli scored Cremonese’s winner against Milan, and his last top-flight appearance against Sassuolo saw him assist the winner for Hellas Verona in the 2023/24 campaign, with both of those goals coming beyond the hour mark. Andrea Pinamonti could precede him on the score sheet, as four of his last six top-flight goals arrived before the 60th minute.[/p]
[p]Tommaso Barbieri and Franco Vázquez will be back after suspension for Cremonese. Ismael Kone is suspended for Sassuolo after picking up two yellow cards last week.[/p]
