Sassuolo vs Cremonese: Match Prediction
Recent home fixtures have rarely delivered the desired results for Sassuolo, and primarily the team has failed to impress with its attacking output. In the last 13 home Serie A matches the home side has only three times managed to score more than one goal — against Fiorentina, Udinese and Pisa, teams that are not especially solid defensively. In addition, the club failed to score in six matches during this stretch.
Cremonese, while not outstanding on the road, are clearly capable of putting up a fight against opponents of any level by opting for a second‑string, counterattacking approach. As a result, the visiting team rarely allows opponents to run riot in attack: in 11 away matches in the current championship the club conceded more than one goal only to Inter and Juventus. And in three matches during this period Cremonese kept a clean sheet.
Prediction: Sassuolo Individual Total Under 1.5 goals
