Inter vs. Cremonese: Match Prediction
There is no doubt about the attacking prowess of the Milanese team – they have scored 13 goals in five rounds of the current championship and found the net five times in two Champions League matches this season. Additionally, in their last 44 home Serie A matches, Inter has only failed to score once. However, their defense is not always reliable: in their last nine home league matches, they have only managed to keep a clean sheet twice.
Cremonese is more than capable of troubling even a high-profile opponent. Moreover, the Serie A newcomer has already scored at San Siro this season, netting twice against AC Milan. In their last 11 away matches in the Italian top flight, the team has only failed to score three times, and in five of those, they scored at least twice. However, Cremonese has only managed to keep a clean sheet once in their last 22 away Serie A matches.
I expect both teams to score in this encounter, and my prediction is: Both teams to score – yes
