Cremonese vs Inter: prediction, head-to-head and probable line-ups – 1 February 2026
One of Sunday’s Serie A fixtures will unfold at the Giovanni Zini Stadium in Cremona, where the local side Cremonese hosts league leaders Inter Milan. Here’s a betting tip for the outcome, taking into account the visitors’ current form.
Match preview
After a lively start to the season, Cremonese have lost momentum and now face the real danger of being dragged into a relegation battle. Davide Nicola’s side have lost seven consecutive home games, picking up just three points and scoring only twice in their last eight league matches. Neither Jamie Vardy nor Federico Bonazzoli has managed to turn things around, and even the recent draw with Verona feels like a brief respite rather than a sign of resurgence.
The road ahead is tough for the Grigiorossi, and a home clash against Inter is hardly a source of relief. On top of injuries to key players, the hosts are struggling with squad depth, and the signing of Milan Đurić is more about experience than guaranteed goals. Beating a side like Inter would require a near-miracle, and at this point, even scoring a single goal looks like the ceiling.
Inter, under Cristian Chivu, are in scintillating form and firmly atop the Serie A standings. The Nerazzurri are unbeaten in their last 10 league games, and their recent 6-2 thrashing of Pisa is testament to their attacking firepower. Despite some midfield absences, Inter keep steamrolling opponents thanks to squad rotation and the clinical form of their stars.
On the road, Inter look even more confident than at home: six straight away wins and only nine goals conceded all season. The trip to Cremona should be another straightforward step toward the Scudetto, especially given their flawless record against bottom-half teams. There’s a cup quarterfinal looming, but the title race remains the top priority – no room for complacency.
Probable line-ups
- Cremonese: Audero, Terracciano, Baschirotto, Bianchetti, Zerbin, Pickel, Grassi, Vandeputte, Pezzella, Bonazzoli, Vardy
- Inter: Sommer, Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni, Henrique, Frattesi, Zieliński, Sučić, Dimarco, Martínez, Esposito
Match facts and head-to-head
- Inter have won their last 6 matches against teams from the bottom half of the table with a combined score of 31:6.
- Cremonese have lost their last 6 home Serie A matches against Inter.
- In their last 8 league visits to Cremona, Inter have lost only once.
Prediction
The form book leaves little doubt: Inter should pick up three points without too much trouble. The visitors are dominant in every aspect, while Cremonese continue to struggle, especially in attack. Expect a straightforward scenario: an early goal from the favourites, controlled tempo, and energy conservation ahead of the cup tie.
