Cremonese
Cremonese, coached by Davide Nicola, lost away to Sassuolo (0:1) in the last round. As a result, the winless run for the home side in the league has reached eight matches (three draws, five defeats).

Overall the team occupies 14th place, six points clear of the relegation zone.
- No more than two goals were scored in 7 of Cremonese's previous 9 Serie A matches.
- At home in the current championship the side has avoided defeat in 7 of 10 matches (2 wins, 5 draws).
- In 6 of the last 8 home matches in this competition the club found the net.

Emil Audero – Giuseppe Pezzella, Federico Baschirotto, Matteo Bianchetti – Filippo Terracciano, Michele Collocolo, Jari Vandeputte, Alberto Grassi, Tommaso Barbieri – Jamie Vardy, Federico Bonazzoli.
Inter
Inter conceded two goals to Pisa but then routed their opponents 6:2. That victory was the ninth in 10 league matches for the squad coached by Christian Kivu (one draw), and it was also the fifth big win of the season. At the same time, only for the second time in the previous 14 Serie A matches did the club concede more than one goal. In terms of defensive reliability Inter are behind four opponents, yet in the standings the visiting team lead by five points over the nearest chaser.
- Inter opened the scoring in 9 of their previous 10 league matches.
- On the road in this competition the side has six wins in a row.
- In 4 of the last 5 away Serie A matches the club kept a clean sheet.

Yann Sommer – Alessandro Bastoni, Yann Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij – Luis Enrique, Piotr Zielinski, Carlos Augusto, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Petar Sucic – Lautaro Martínez, Francesco Esposito.
Defender Denzel Dumfries and midfielders Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu will not play due to injuries.

Cremonese vs Inter: Match Prediction
There should be no doubt about the outcome of the upcoming game. Even the home crowd is unlikely to help the side managed by Davide Nicola take points off the league leader. Overall Cremonese are not in great form: the side has not won in the championship since the start of December, and defeats during that run have included losses to nearby teams in the table. Inter, meanwhile, have won six consecutive away matches in Serie A.
However, the hosts will resist. During the winless run the home side conceded more than two goals only once. In the other seven matches the club did not concede more than two goals. Inter are unlikely to be at peak physical condition after a demanding Champions League fixture. At the same time, one to two goals are generally enough for Christian Kivu's squad to secure victory, and Inter have shown that level of output across nine away games.
Prediction: Inter To Win And Under 3.5 Goals
