Cremonese vs Sassuolo prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2022-23

Cremonese will entertain Sassuolo at the Giovanni Zini Stadium in their upcoming Serie A fixture on Sunday.

The home team have endured a poor run in their return to the top-flight and have lost all four of their league games in a row. In their previous outing, they faced a 3-1 defeat in their away game at Inter Milan. David Okereke scored the consolation goal in the 90th minute for La Cremo.

Sassuolo have avoided defeat in their last three league games after suffering a 3-0 away loss at Juventus in their league opener. They produced a solid display last time around and were able to hold reigning champions AC Milan to a goalless draw.

We go again! 👊

Cremonese vs Sassuolo Prediction

Cremonese have the second-worst defensive record in the league, conceding nine goals in three games, though they have outscored the visitors 4-3 in league games thus far.

Sassuolo might have been the second-best side against Cremonese historically, but a lot has changed since their last meeting 15 years ago. Sassuolo have the advantage in terms of squad quality and should be able to record a win here.

Prediction: Cremonese 1-2 Sassuolo
