Cremonese vs Udinese

Cremonese are aiming to maintain their solid start to the season as they host Udinese in a Monday night Italian Serie A fixture.

The newly promoted side are holding their own in the topflight and will be feeling confident heading into this clash. They should have enough to avoid defeat against the visitors, who are a bit erratic at the moment.

Cremonese News

Cremonese suffered a 4-1 defeat at Inter Milan in their last Serie A fixture just before the international break. They were no match for the former league champions, with Federico Bonazzoli’s late effort proving a mere consolation.

While it was a disappointing result, it was also the first defeat of the season for Cremonese, who have held their own so far in the topflight. Among the results for Davide Nicola's team is a 2-1 victory at AC Milan on the opening weekend.

One issue for Cremonese is that they have not been particularly impressive going forward lately, with three of their last four matches producing under 2.5 goals. All three fixtures have also served up under 1.5 goals in both halves.

Udinese Form

Udinese head into Monday's clash off the back of a 1-1 home draw with Cagliari in their previous Serie A fixture. They struck back from a goal down, with Christian Kabasele’s second-half effort earning them a share of the spoils.

It has been a mixed season for Udinese, who have only picked up two wins from six matches so far. Kosta Runjaic's team suffered a 3-1 defeat at Sassuolo in their previous away fixture.

Like the hosts, Udinese are unconvincing going forward as they often struggle to create much in attack. They have failed to score more than one goal in four of their last five Serie A matches.

Head to Head

Udinese have never lost in this fixture, with three wins and six draws in nine previous matches against Cremonese. The last meeting was a Serie A clash in 2023, with the visitors claiming a 3-0 home victory.

Verdict

Cremonese v Udinese

Cremonese may have a poor record in this fixture, but will be feeling confident heading into Monday's clash, having gone unbeaten in five of their six matches so far. They should do enough to earn a win or draw against Udinese, who have been unconvincing this season.

Neither attack has been overly impressive this season, and with three of Cremonese’s last four matches producing under 2.5 goals, a repeat could be on the cards. Those three fixtures have also offered up under 1.5 goals in both halves, and a similar pattern could be expected here.
