Cremonese and Udinese bring round seven of the Italian Serie A to an end when they square off at the Stadio Giovanni Zini on Monday. Davide Nicola’s men saw their unbeaten start to the league campaign come to an end last time out and will be looking to bounce back here.
Cremonese were outclassed and outplayed by a star-studded Inter Milan side just before the international break as they fell to a 4-1 defeat when the two teams met at the San Siro Stadium.
Before that, Nicola’s side picked up two wins and three draws from their first five games since returning to the Italian top flight while scoring six goals and conceding four across the five matches.
Having gained promotion from Serie B last season, Cremonese have picked up nine points from their six Serie A games to sit 10th in the table, one point and two places above Monday’s visitors.

Having kicked off the Serie A campaign with two wins and one draw from their first three games, Kosta Runjaic's men have failed to taste victory in three straight league matches, claiming one point from a possible nine.
While Udinese will be looking to find their feet on Monday, they will need to be at their best at the Stadio Giovanni Zini, having won just three of their nine away games in the league since the start of March.
