Will the Old Lady join the title race?
The Old Lady last faced the promoted side on matchday 10 of the current season. At that time, Luciano Spalletti made his debut on the Juve bench and freed the club from the clutches of an eight-game winless streak (2-1). The Juventus vs. Cremonese tip for the rematch is more clear-cut.
The 66-year-old was able to build on the victorious start to his tenure with the Italian record champions without any detours. Spalletti restored La Vecchia Signora’s aura as a top team, which has built up a high level of form in the run-up to our Juventus vs. Cremonese prediction.
Under Spalletti, the Bianconeri are playing football at the highest level in Italy. Since his arrival, only Inter Milan (24) has earned more points than Le Zebre (21). The expected values underscore a sustained development in the desired direction.
Since the beginning of November, Juve has scored the most expected goals in the Italian top flight (20.94 xG) without completely throwing the defense out the window. On the contrary: at the same time, the Old Lady has put together the second-best expected defense in the same period (8.01 xGA).
Juve are clear favorites in their home game against Davide Nicola’s team, having not lost any of their first nine Serie A home games (5W, 4D). Under the current circumstances, we are taking odds of 1.78 in the Bet-at-Home app and betting on “Juventus to win to nil.”
Juventus – Cremonese Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
We have already briefly discussed the last matchup. At that time, Filip Kostic gave the Old Lady the lead in the second minute of the game. In the middle of the second half, Andrea Cambiaso secured the victory and increased the lead to two goals. It was a deserved victory, as reflected in the expected goals of the match (2.14:0.42 xG).
It was one of a total of three direct duels between these two clubs this century. All three encounters ended in victory for the Italian record champions (1:0, 2:0, 2:1).
Juventus – Cremonese Tip
The hosts have all the necessary resources and more at their disposal to overcome the most vulnerable defense in Italian first division soccer in 2025/2026 on multiple occasions. Cremonese has conceded the most expected goals in the league (29.7 xGA) and is struggling to stay up as a promoted team.
Up front, head coach Davide Nicola is relying on maximum experience. Jamie Vardy still shows flashes of his class at times and is La Cremo’s joint top scorer with five goals this season. If the hosts can shut down the 38-year-old, there will be little threat of goals.
A clean sheet victory for the fourth-placed team is not unusual this season and has come back into fashion since Spalletti’s arrival. Juve have won four of their last six competitive games without conceding a goal and recently beat Sassuolo 3-0.
Cremonese, on the other hand, has been completely lacking in punch for a few weeks now. This has led to four of their last five league games ending without a goal. In such a phase, there are certainly more appealing prospects than traveling to one of the strongest teams in Serie A.
