Cremonese vs Sassuolo Prediction and Betting Tips

Cremonese will host fellow newly-promoted side Sassuolo at the Stadio Giovanni Zini on Friday in the second round of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign. The home side returned to competitive action this season with a disappointing round of 64 exit from the Coppa Italia after losing on penalties to second-tier outfit Palermo.

They, however, picked themselves up for their league opener last week, marking their return to the Italian top-flight with an impressive 2-1 victory over Milan at the San Siro. Goals from Federico Baschirotto and Federico Bonazzoli handed La Cremo their first ever victory away at Milan and they will now be looking to take confidence from that into their next game.

Sassuolo on the other hand were victorious in their cup clash earlier in the month, beating Catanzaro 1-0 via a first-half strike from Josh Doig. They, however, suffered a 2-0 defeat to defending champions Napoli in the Serie A opener last weekend, conceding a goal in either half before a red card to Ismael Kone all but scuppered their chances of a comeback result in front of their home fans.

Cremonese vs Sassuolo Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Cremonese vs Sassuolo Prediction

La Cremo exceeded expectations in their win over Milan last weekend and they will be bullish going into their first home league game of the campaign. They are slight favorites heading into Friday's game but will need to be at their very best if they are to pick up all three points.

I Neroverdi have lost their last three league games dating back to last season, failing to score any goals in that period. They are, however, the stronger of the two teams heading into the weekend clash and should avoid defeat here.

Prediction: Cremonese 1-1 Sassuolo
