After midweek victories which ended their winless streaks, Cremonese and Juventus will be looking to continue that positivity as they try to keep pace with Serie A’s top six.
Match News and Current Form
Cremonese registered their first win since August when beating Genoa away 2-0 on Wednesday, and with only one loss to their name in their nine Serie A matches this season (W3, D5), it's safe to say that they have exceeded expectations on their top flight return. Davide Nicola’s men start this round only a point behind the top six and will be confident of continuing their fine start to the campaign here, as the Grigiorossi are unbeaten in 11 home league games since the end of February (W4, D7), despite keeping just four clean sheets during that run.
An eight-match winless sequence, including three consecutive losses, is over for Juventus, who defeated Udinese 3-1 on Wednesday under interim head coach Massimo Brambilla before the now-confirmed arrival of former Italy manager Luciano Spalletti following Igor Tudor’s sacking. Spalletti’s main goal is to finish in the top four, with Juve trailing those places by only three points ahead of this round, but if he wants to meet expectations and ultimately gain the extension of his contract, the visitors must improve their away form drastically, as they are on a three-game losing streak on the road in all competitions, having won just one such encounter this term (D2, L3).
Head-to-Head History
Juventus won both H2Hs this century without conceding when these two teams met during the 2022/23 Serie A season. Cremonese are up against history here, as they have only ever beaten Juventus once (D6, L16) - back in 1923!
