⚽ Football Bet of the Day
AC Milan vs Cremonese
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Both Teams to Score | |
3/4 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Marseille’s attacking strength through Aubameyang and Weah combined with Ajax’s away scoring record points firmly towards goals at both ends. Neither side keeps clean sheets in Europe, and with both desperate for their first points of the group stage, an open, high-intensity clash looks certain.

Rationale:
San Siro prepares for a fresh chapter as AC Milan, after a turbulent and often disjointed 2024-25 campaign, take on newly promoted Cremonese. For Milan, the return of Massimiliano Allegri to the dugout is more than a managerial appointment — it is a signal of intent to restore control and consistency to a squad that underperformed last season. Despite lifting the Supercoppa Italiana, the Rossoneri collapsed in Serie A, limping home in eighth and failing to convince in Europe or the domestic cup. That level is simply unacceptable for a club of their stature.
The summer has seen sweeping changes. Luka Modric’s arrival provides invaluable leadership in midfield, while Christian Pulisic, who has already produced 33 goals and 20 assists in Milan colours, remains central to Allegri’s attacking plan. With Rafael Leao sidelined, Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez will be asked to carry the scoring burden, but both showed signs in pre-season and the Coppa Italia opener against Bari that they are ready to shoulder the responsibility.
Cremonese, by contrast, are approaching this fixture with far less optimism. Their promotion was hard-earned through the play-offs, but their exit from the Coppa Italia last week at the hands of Palermo highlighted their limitations. Historical records do them no favours either: they have lost all eight of their previous Serie A opening matches and typically struggle badly in Milan. Even their talisman Jari Vandeputte — prolific as a creator in Serie B — may find it difficult to influence proceedings against a much stronger opponent.
Allegri will demand a fast start, and against a side known for slow openings at this level, Milan have the opportunity to stamp authority immediately. Given the Rossoneri’s superior quality, depth and momentum, this looks like a fixture where they should not only win but do so with a degree of comfort.
