Cremonese vs Napoli Prediction
The home team are winless after eight games in Serie A and given the form of the visitors, a win for them seems unlikely here. I Partenopei have played very well in their recent fixtures and look like a force to be reckoned with in the Italian top-flight this term.
They are undefeated across all competitions this season and head into this game on a seven-game winning streak across all competitions. With that in mind, an easy win seems to be on the cards for the visitors.
