Cremonese vs Sassuolo Predictions

Can Cremonese Keep Their Dream Start Alive Against Sassuolo?

• Cremonese’s giant-killing start: Their 2-1 victory at San Siro came from only three shots on target, showing ruthless finishing rather than dominance.
• Sassuolo’s defensive frailties: Against Napoli, they conceded 12 shots inside their own box, highlighting vulnerabilities that Cremonese’s front line will look to exploit.
• Both sides’ scoring trend: Each of their last three meetings has seen both teams get on the scoresheet, adding weight to our prediction for this encounter.

Best Bet for Cremonese vs Sassuolo

The Serie A season is barely underway, yet we already have storylines bubbling. Cremonese stunned everyone on the opening weekend by marching into San Siro and leaving with all three points after a 2-1 triumph over AC Milan. Goals from Federico Baschirotto and Federico Bonazzoli wrote their names into early-season headlines, and suddenly this supposedly relegation-battling side are strutting into their first home match with real swagger. On the other hand, Sassuolo had the unenviable task of facing the reigning champions and fell 2-0, which was not unexpected but still bruising. Fabio Grosso’s men now desperately need to settle into Serie A life before nerves begin to creep in.

This clash in Lombardy feels like a proper early litmus test: was Cremonese’s heroics in Milan a fluke or a sign that Davide Nicola’s “miracle worker” reputation is rubbing off again? Sassuolo will not roll over, but the cracks are already visible.

Best Bet for this Match

Here at BettingTips4You we are not in the business of bombarding you with dozens of suggestions. We focus on quality over quantity, and for this match we are sticking our neck out with one clear Best Bet. After digging into the numbers, weighing up the line-ups and factoring in the context, our selected tip is Cremonese to win and both teams to score. This has been chosen above every other angle because it best captures the balance between Cremonese’s growing momentum and Sassuolo’s capacity to still find the net.

Why Back This Prediction

Cremonese’s victory at Milan was not just about luck, although admittedly they did ride their luck at times. The critical point is they found ways to hurt a top side, and both Baschirotto and Bonazzoli looked razor sharp. With Davide Nicola drilling discipline into his squad, their 3-5-2 system seems to give them a platform to soak pressure before springing forward. Playing in front of their own supporters this weekend should only magnify their intensity.

Sassuolo, by contrast, are already in a difficult spot. Missing Ismael Kone through suspension robs them of steel in midfield, and with Kristian Thorstvedt also unavailable, Grosso has fewer tools to slow the game down. Their front three of Domenico Berardi, Andrea Pinamonti and Armand Laurienté certainly carries threat – they are not a side short of attacking intent – but the defensive unit looked fragile against Napoli. Even with their goalkeeper Turati making a couple of decent stops, the gaps in the back four were easy to spot.

The big question is whether Cremonese can replicate their energy levels from last weekend. Their wide players like Zerbin and Pezzella are tasked with doing a huge amount of running, and the middle trio of Collocolo, Grassi and Vandeputte will need to keep Sassuolo’s midfield honest. Even if Tommaso Barbieri and Dennis Johnsen fail to recover in time, Nicola has shown an ability to patch together functional sides in more difficult circumstances.

There’s also the psychological factor. Sassuolo are coming into this fixture on the back of a defeat, with their confidence dented, while Cremonese are buzzing. In Serie A, momentum often matters more than raw quality. Sassuolo may very well score – Berardi is not a man who goes quiet for long – but their defensive fragility means they are unlikely to keep Cremonese out for ninety minutes. The home side have already shown they can convert small windows of opportunity into goals.

BettingTips4You.com expert quote – Luca Pratesi:

“Cremonese are not suddenly a team destined for Europe, but their spirit under Nicola makes them a nightmare to play against. At home, they should have the edge, though Sassuolo’s attack is always capable of leaving its mark.”

Our call for this contest is a lively affair where both sides find the net, but Cremonese’s edge in organisation and home advantage sees them through. A 2-1 win for the hosts looks the likeliest outcome – not as emphatic as their win over Sassuolo last season, but enough to keep their dream start going.

Correct Score Prediction

Cremonese 2-1 Sassuolo. Cremonese’s high spirit and Sassuolo’s attacking quality point towards goals both ways, but the hosts’ energy and organisation tip the balance in their favour.
