Will the Rossoneri get off to a perfect start?
After a two-year absence, US Cremonese returned to the country’s top flight this summer, finishing fourth in the Serie B promotion playoffs. In 2022/23, the Grigiorossi were unable to hold their own in Serie A.
It will be tough again this time around for the Lombardy club, which most experts consider the number one candidate for relegation. However, if AC Milan’s bet on the Tigri to win points pays off, it would be a first exclamation mark.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are facing a season without European football after a disappointing eighth-place finish and defeat in the Coppa Italia final, and have spent heavily to erase this shame. After all, the Rossoneri are the club with the second-most Champions League victories in history and therefore have plenty of appeal even without European football to lure names such as Luka Modric, Pervis Estipinán and, according to the latest reports, Victor Boniface to Lombardy. Given the powerful squad that new coach Massimiliano Allegri has inherited, it makes perfect sense to bet on a clear opening victory for the Rossoneri.
Il Diavolo has already cleared the first hurdle of the new season. In the Coppa Italia last Sunday, they secured an unchallenged 2-0 victory over Bari, while newly promoted Cremonese slipped up at home against Palermo. After 90 goalless minutes, the Grigiorossi bowed out of the competition on penalties. Against this backdrop, there is little to suggest that the newly promoted side will be able to dampen the Rossoneri’s spirits in their opening game.
We expect a one-sided affair and recommend betting on AC Milan to win by at least two goals against Cremonese. Merkur Bets offers odds of 2.01 for this outcome.
AC Milan – Cremonese Head-to-head record
Head to head: 17 – 6 – 6
A total of 29 competitive matches have been played between the two teams so far, with AC Milan leading the head-to-head record very clearly with 17 wins. The Rossoneri are currently unbeaten in five meetings with US Cremonese (two wins, three draws). However, in the 2022/23 season, both teams drew both times in their last season together in Serie A.
AC Milan – Cremonese Tip
The betting odds from the top bookmakers are clearly and unmistakably in favor of AC Milan against Cremonese, who have big plans for the new season and should definitely pick up their first three points against one of the biggest favorites for direct relegation.
In the Lombardy derby, we therefore recommend betting on the Milanese side to win by at least two goals, which would see them settle in the upper reaches of the table on the very first matchday. For the handicap of -1, odds of 2.01 are available at Merkur Bets for AC Milan against Cremonese, which we are betting on with three out of ten units.
