Cremonese vs Inter Milan Predictions and Best Bets
Cremonese vs Inter Milan — bet365 Market Snapshot
Swipe through key markets with illustrative probabilities and sample bet365 odds based on our match analysis.
Inter Milan arrive with six straight away wins, making them overwhelming favourites against a struggling Cremonese side in the 1X2 market.
Pricing points towards a comfortable away win with the 2-0 scoreline highlighted by Cremonese’s recent goal drought.
Implied probability for at least three goals remains high given Inter’s relentless shot volume and 50 goals scored.
- Cremonese’s goal drought: Cremonese have failed to score in their last three Serie A matches, taking 0 wins from their last six (4 defeats), and averaging just 8.5 shots per game.
- Inter’s relentless output: Inter have 50 goals in 22 Serie A matches, average 18.4 shots per game, and come into this fixture unbeaten in 10 league matches with 17 wins already.
- Two teams, two worlds: Cremonese sit 15th on 23 points with 20 goals scored, while Inter are 1st on 52 points — and Inter’s away run shows six straight away wins across their last six away games listed.
Attacking Threat: Shots Per Match
The volume of shots often dictates the rhythm of the game, highlighting the offensive pressure Inter Milan exert on opponents.
Inter’s relentless output is a key driver behind their 50 league goals this season.
Cremonese find it difficult to test goalkeepers frequently, averaging less than half of Inter’s total.
Defensive Security: Clean Sheets
Clean sheets offer a clear look at defensive stability across all competitions played this term.
A high clean sheet ratio underpins their challenge at the top of the table.
Maintaining defensive discipline has been a significant challenge for the home side recently.
Sunday evening at Stadio Giovanni Zini has a sharp edge to it. Cremonese are free-falling, stuck in a run that’s stripped their football down to survival basics — and now the league leaders arrive with a title pace that’s getting louder by the week.
Inter, led by Cristian Chivu, can crank the pressure even higher with a win, moving further clear at the top while AC Milan wait in the wings. The mood around Davide Nicola’s Cremonese feels tense: four defeats in their last six, no goal in three league games, and a fixture list that hasn’t offered much mercy.
Kick-off is 17:00. Cremonese need a response. Inter want another step towards something bigger.
Team News & Lineups
Team News (injuries/suspensions)
- Cremonese: Antonio Sanabria Ayala (muscle fatigue), Warren Bondo (unknown injury), Martín Payero (muscle fatigue)
- Cremonese: Tommaso Barbieri (yellow card suspension, until 02/02/2026)
Probable Lineups
Cremonese (possible XI):
Audero; Terracciano, Baschirotto, Bianchetti; Zerbin, Payero, Grassi, Vandeputte, Pezzella; Bonazzoli, Vardy
Inter (possible XI):
Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Frattesi, Zielinski, Sucic, Dimarco; Martínez, Esposito
What it means
If Payero is feeling it and Bondo is missing, Cremonese’s midfield energy takes a hit — a problem when Inter love to camp in your half and keep turning the screw. Up front, Cremonese lean hard on Jamie Vardy and Federico Bonazzoli (both on 5 league goals) to make rare chances count.
Inter’s XI has punch and craft in key zones. Federico Dimarco has been a constant source of goals and assists (5 goals, 7 assists), while Lautaro Martínez brings the finishing (12 league goals) and volume (3.4 shots per game).
The Tale of the Tape
| Metric | Cremonese | Inter |
|---|---|---|
| League position | 15th (23 pts) | 1st (52 pts) |
| Goals scored (Serie A) | 20 (22 apps) | 50 (22 apps) |
| Goals conceded (Serie A) | 29 | 19 |
| Shots per game (Serie A) | 8.5 | 18.4 |
| Possession | 46% | 59.6% |
| Pass accuracy | 78.2% | 86.9% |
| Clean sheets (all leagues listed) | 7 (23 games) | 15 (31 games) |
| Corners per game | 3.39 | 6.35 |
This points to a familiar flow: Inter hog the ball, rack up shots, and force territory through repeated attacks (104.87 total attacks per game listed for Inter). Cremonese, by contrast, are built for long balls and width — but their low shot output and recent goal drought means they need a cleaner edge than they’ve shown lately.

Tactical Battle: How the Match Plays Out
Cremonese: width, long balls, and living on scraps
Davide Nicola’s side play with width, hit long balls, and take long shots — a style that can keep you alive when you can’t dominate possession. The problem is the cracks underneath it. Cremonese struggle to keep the ball, they’re very weak at stopping opponents from creating chances, and they’re vulnerable to through balls, long shots, and wing attacks.
That’s basically an invitation to Inter’s strengths.
Cremonese’s best route is to make the match messy: pull Inter wide, win second balls, and feed Vardy early before Inter’s back line can settle. If Jari Vandeputte (4 assists) can get on it in the half-spaces, Cremonese at least have someone who can slip a pass rather than just launch it.
Inter: territory, wing punch, and set-piece menace
Inter are built to suffocate teams. They control games in the opposition half, pass quickly, and attack down the left — which puts a spotlight straight onto Dimarco, already with 7 assists and 6 Man of the Match awards.
They’re also dangerous from set pieces at both ends: very strong attacking set pieces and very strong defending set pieces. Add in their chance creation and individual skill, and Cremonese’s “don’t give away cheap fouls in dangerous areas” weakness looks like a flashing warning.
Inter’s one soft spot is worth noting, though: they can be weak protecting the lead, and they’re weak avoiding offside. If Cremonese can hang around and keep it tight late on, the pressure shifts — not because Inter lack quality, but because game management becomes a different test.
The key duel zones
- Inter’s left flank vs Cremonese’s right: If Dimarco and Inter’s left-sided combinations get rolling, Cremonese’s wide defending gets stressed fast.
- Shot volume vs shot scarcity: Inter fire 18.4 shots per game; Cremonese manage 8.5. If that gap shows early, the match becomes survival football.
- Set pieces and second balls: Inter’s corners (6.35 per game) mean wave after wave. Cremonese must clear cleanly — or keep defending forever.
Key Moments to Watch
- The first 30 minutes: Cremonese’s average first goal time sits late (50′), while Inter’s is earlier (34′). If Inter score first, the Zini gets edgy quickly.
- Discipline in dangerous areas: Cremonese are weak at avoiding fouls in risky zones, and Inter have the profiles to punish that through dead balls and rehearsed deliveries.
- Who blinks at half-time: Inter haven’t lost at half-time in 14 straight Serie A matches. If Cremonese are still alive at the break, they’ve already done one hard thing.
What could go wrong?
For Cremonese, it’s the obvious spiral: concede early, chase shadows, and the match turns into a shot barrage you can’t survive. For Inter, it’s the trap of dominance without a kill shot — miss chances, stray offside runs, and suddenly a long ball, a second ball, and one moment from Vardy or Bonazzoli drags them into a scrap they didn’t plan for.

The Punter’s Cheat Sheet

Inter to Win & Over 1.5 Goals
The gulf in class between these two sides is currently immense. Inter arrive at the Stadio Giovanni Zini as a relentless offensive machine, having already racked up 50 league goals this campaign. Their ability to dominate territory is reflected in an average of 18.4 shots per game, more than double the output of their hosts. With 17 wins already secured and a perfect run of six straight away victories, the league leaders possess the clinical edge required to dismantle a struggling back line.
Cremonese, by contrast, are in the midst of a significant decline. They have failed to find the net in their last three Serie A fixtures and have picked up zero wins from their last six matches. This goal drought, paired with a style that relies on long balls and surviving on scraps, makes it incredibly difficult for them to push back against a team that controls nearly 60% of possession. When Inter take control in the opposition half, they rarely fail to create high-quality openings.
Furthermore, the timing of goals suggests Inter will exert pressure early. While Cremonese typically wait until the 50th minute to find a breakthrough, Inter’s average first goal arrives much earlier at the 34-minute mark. If the visitors strike first, Cremonese’s tactical plan of sitting deep and launching long balls to Jamie Vardy will likely crumble, forcing them to open up and concede further chances to the likes of Lautaro Martínez and Federico Dimarco.
What could go wrong?
The primary risk is a lack of efficiency from Inter despite their statistical dominance. If they fall into the trap of straying offside frequently or failing to convert their high shot volume into goals, it allows Cremonese to stay in the game. A single moment of veteran brilliance from Jamie Vardy on the counter-attack could frustrate the leaders if they haven’t already secured a multi-goal cushion.
Correct Score Lean
Cremonese 0-2 Inter
This scoreline aligns with the statistical reality of both squads. Inter have kept 15 clean sheets across all competitions this season, proving they have the defensive discipline to shut out an attack that hasn’t scored in three games. Given Inter’s average of over two goals per match and Cremonese’s inability to generate consistent shots on target, a comfortable two-goal margin for the visitors is the most logical outcome. Inter are likely to score early and manage the game effectively to preserve their energy for the title race.
