Lazio — Cremonese Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 20 December 2025
On December 20, 2025, in Matchday 16 of Serie A, Lazio will host Cremonese. The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Lazio
Lazio come into this match in a positive mood. The Rome-based side are unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions. In their most recent outing, Lazio secured a 1–0 away victory over Parma, following a 1–1 draw against Bologna in Serie A.
The team also recently played a very demanding Coppa Italia match against Milan and managed to take revenge for their earlier league defeat. Lazio won 1–0 and advanced to the quarter-finals, where they will face Bologna.
Overall, Lazio’s form looks quite solid. In their last 12 matches in all competitions, the Romans have suffered only two defeats — one against Inter in Serie A and one against Milan. In the remaining games, they recorded six wins and four draws.
At the moment, Lazio sit 8th in the Serie A table with 22 points, trailing the European qualification zone by just three points. Their home form deserves special attention: Lazio have not lost any of their last six matches at the Stadio Olimpico, winning four and drawing two. In four of those six home games, they managed to keep a clean sheet.
When it comes to head-to-head meetings against Cremonese at home, Lazio also hold a clear advantage. In their last seven home matches against this opponent, the Romans have won six times and drawn once. Notably, Lazio have never lost at home to Cremonese in their history.

Cremonese
Cremonese come into this match after a defeat in their most recent outing, losing 0–1 away to Torino. Prior to that, the team recorded two consecutive victories — first a convincing 3–1 away win over Bologna, followed by a 2–0 home success against Lecce. However, looking at their overall recent form, Cremonese have suffered four defeats and claimed two wins in their last six matches.
Still, for a team that has only recently been promoted, their current league position is quite impressive. Cremonese sit 11th in the Serie A standings and are just five points away from the European qualification zone.
Their away form has been a particular strength. Cremonese rank 7th in Serie A based on away results, having collected 11 points from eight away matches. Recent road games have tended to be low-scoring, with three of their last four away fixtures ending with under 2.5 goals.
In head-to-head meetings against Lazio, Cremonese have struggled in recent years. Lazio hold a clear advantage, winning six of the last eight encounters, while Cremonese have recorded one win and one draw. That said, the last five meetings between the sides have all been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in each match.

Lazio — Cremonese Prediction
Both teams come into this match in different form. Lazio have looked quite solid in recent games, suffering only two defeats in their last 12 matches. They are unbeaten at home for six consecutive games and recently reached the Coppa Italia quarter-finals. In Seria A, Lazio tend to play in a pragmatic manner, with most of their matches played at a low tempo and producing few goals. Cremonese, on the other hand, tend to play very cautiously away from home and rarely produce high-scoring matches. The head-to-head record also strongly favors Lazio. They have won the last three meetings, and at their home stadium, the Roman side have never lost to this opponent. Considering Lazio’s strong home form, Cremonese’s poor performances on the road, and the overall low-scoring nature of both teams’ recent matches, we expect a tight and closed game with a slow tempo and a limited number of goals. My bet for this match: Total Under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.8.
