Torino vs Cremonese prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-12 14:00.
[p]On a dreadful run of three consecutive defeats, Torino will be hoping to emulate the recent feats of visitors Cremonese, who ended their own three-game losing streak in December to bounce back with two victories.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Not even an early two-goal lead over Milan was enough for Torino to end their current six-game winless run (D3, L3) and they paid the price by heading into this round with only a four-point cushion over the relegation places. Manager Marco Baroni must be feeling some pressure on his shoulders as, despite scoring in each of their three consecutive losses, Torino have conceded ten goals over the run. That is the same amount of goals as the Granata have conceded across their previous three home matches (D1, L2), representing more than two-thirds of the league-worst 14 goals their defence has conceded this Serie A term.[/p]
[p]Cremonese were in a similar situation to their opponents just a few weeks ago, but they started December in outstanding fashion with back-to-back victories by a two-goal margin. Davide Nicola’s men entered this round ninth with only a four-point deficit on the European places as their initial bid for safety continued to go to plan. A trip to Torino shouldn’t cause any significant troubles for the visitors, who have lost just one of their seven league matches against teams starting this round beneath them in the Serie A table (W2, D4, L1), whilst they boast a solid overall away record this term (W3, D2, L2).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
