Cremonese vs Verona prediction, head-to-head and probable lineups - 19 January 2026
One of the matches of Serie A's 21st round will take place on Monday at the Stadio Giovanni Zini in Cremona, where the local side Cremonese will host Verona. Let's take a closer look at a bet on goals in this clash, which offers promising odds for success.
Match preview
After a dazzling start to December with back-to-back wins over Bologna and Lecce, Cremonese have once again found themselves mired in difficulties. Over the last six rounds, the team has suffered four defeats - including a painful 0-5 loss to Juventus - and slipped down the table.
One of the main problems for the Grifoni has been their chronic struggles in front of goal: in five of their last six matches, they failed to score even once. Back on home turf, Cremonese will be hoping to break this negative trend, but the attack needs to come alive - otherwise, their winless streak could turn into a far more alarming slump.
Verona are also going through tough times, sitting at the bottom of the form table over the last five rounds. December's successes against Atalanta and Fiorentina were encouraging, but since then the team has regressed, losing four out of five matches.
Defensive woes are compounded by a lack of attacking firepower: just 17 goals scored and 34 conceded this season - among the worst records in Serie A. A rash of injuries and suspensions has made things even harder, and away from home Verona traditionally struggle, including two winless trips to Cremona.
Probable lineups
- Cremonese: Audero, Terracciano, Baschirotto, Bianchetti, Zerbin, Grassi, Vandeputte, Bondo, Mussolini, Vardy, Bonazzoli
- Verona: Montipò, Slotsager, Nelsson, Valentini, Niass, Serdar, Gagliardini, Bernede, Bradaric, Giovane, Orban
Match facts and head-to-head
- Cremonese are winless in Serie A for six consecutive matches.
- Verona have lost four of their last five league games.
- Both teams have failed to score in most of their recent outings - expect a low-scoring encounter.
Prediction
Both teams are in crisis, more concerned with stability than chasing flamboyant football. Cremonese will hope to capitalize on home advantage, but Verona have enough to avoid defeat. In this context, a draw seems the most logical outcome, with neither side likely to take unnecessary risks.
