Match preview
Fabio Grosso’s team hasn’t tasted victory in seven consecutive rounds, with their last three matches ending in defeats to Juventus, Roma, and Napoli by an aggregate score of 0-6. The problem is clear – Sassuolo have completely lost their attacking edge, failing to score in four of their last six Serie A fixtures.
Injuries to key players, including Domenico Berardi, have significantly limited their attacking potential. In the absence of their leader, the burden falls on Andrea Pinamonti, but even his output has been underwhelming – all four of his goals this season have come away from home, and he’s yet to help the team on their own turf.
Davide Nicola’s side looks even more toothless up front: over the past seven rounds, Cremonese have scored just once, losing four times and drawing three. Recent matches have exposed glaring issues with finishing, even against fellow strugglers in the lower half of the table.
Nevertheless, the visitors still have some capable attacking players – Bonazzoli and Vardy, both of whom have notched up five goals this season. They’ve been particularly effective on the road, where most of their stats come from, while Vandeputte continues to lead the team in assists from midfield.
Probable lineups
- Sassuolo: Muric, Walukiewicz, Izdes, Muharemovic, Doig, Lipani, Matic, Vranks, Fadera, Pinamonti, Laurienté
- Cremonese: Audero, Ceccherini, Baschirotto, Bianchetti, Barbieri, Bondo, Grassi, Vandeputte, Terracciano, Bonazzoli, Vardy
Match facts and head-to-head
- The last two Serie A meetings between these teams ended 3-2, with each side winning once.
- Sassuolo are winless in their last seven league matches.
- Cremonese have failed to score in six of their last seven Serie A games.
Prediction
Despite the high-scoring history of this fixture, the current form of both sides hardly inspires optimism for goals. Both teams are clearly struggling in front of goal and are likely to play cautiously, wary of another setback. Against this backdrop, a low-scoring draw—possibly goalless – seems the most probable outcome.
