Verona vs Cremonese prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-09-14 16:30.
[p]Verona host newly-promoted Cremonese at the Bentegodi Stadium, where the visitors will be aiming to continue their incredible 100% start to the season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After a promising 1-1 draw away at Udinese on opening weekend, Verona suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Lazio. Paolo Zanetti’s men now return home for the first time this campaign, but the Bentegodi Stadium has hardly been a fortress, given that they have won only one of their last 13 games here (D5, L7). That issue is compounded by the fact that the Mastiffs have failed to score in seven of their last 11 home games, and they only managed one win when hosting newly-promoted opposition last season (D2).[/p]
[p]Cremonese have enjoyed an outstanding start to the campaign, defeating AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro and following that up with a 3-2 home win over Sassuolo. The Grigiorossi are now aiming to become only the fourth newly-promoted side to win each of their first three Serie A games after Sampdoria (in 2012/13 and 1982/83), Roma (1952/53), and Palermo (1948/49). This feel-good factor in Lombardy has also been heightened by the arrival of legendary Premier League and former Leicester striker, Jamie Vardy, as the summer transfer window came to a close.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Verona have scored in seven of their eight top-flight matches against Cremonese (W3, D4, L1), and are unbeaten in each of the previous four home meetings in the top flight (W2, D2), That is caveated by the fact that recent encounters have been close, with four of the last five competitive H2Hs producing the 1-1 scoreline after 90 minutes.[/p]
