The newly-promoted side look to get their first points on the board in these Cremonese vs. Sassuolo predictions. Sassuolo have made a mediocre start to their Serie A season but will be hopeful of a win at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.
Cremonese vs. Sassuolo odds
- Sassuolo to win – 15/11
- Sassuolo to not keep a clean sheet – 2/7
- Sassuolo to score over 1.5 goals – 1/1
- Pinamonti to score anytime – 2/1
- Cremonse to score a penalty – 5/1
Sassuolo travel to face second-from-bottom Cremonese on Sunday afternoon hoping to secure their first win in three games. The Neroverdi have had a difficult start to the season by all accounts, facing both Milan and Juventus in their first four matches and will look forward to an easier run of fixtures coming up.
As is often the case for Alessio Dionisi’s side, the summer saw a significant reshuffling of the squad with Sassuolo’s two outstanding performers from last season Gianluca Scamacca and Giacomo Raspadori departing in big-money moves. Despite limited investment in their replacements, the manager appears to have dealt with the transition well with the team sitting mid-table with four games played.
This could not be more of a contrast to Cremonese, who have brought in a host of new players since their promotion to Serie A, but who have yet to secure a single point this season. Unfortunately for the Grigiorossi, Sunday’s match may be yet another defeat as the squad looks to settle with the visitors our tip to win.
Massimilano Alvini has looked to seriously bolster his attacking options, with David Okereke, Cyriel Dessers and Felix Afena-Gyan all signed over the summer. The former has found his feet well, with two goals to his name but the others have failed to kick-start their Cremonese careers. With an average of one goal per game, the hosts should manage to test Sassuolo this weekend and score at least once.
Sassuolo’s attacking output has only been slightly better this season, with five. However, their hosts’ defensive struggles which have seen them concede nine already suggests that the match at the Stadio Giovanni Zini could be an opportunity for players to fill their boots. A punt on the visitors to score over 1.5 goals could well pay off, while on-loan forward Andrea Pinamonti is our tip to score anytime having opened his account last weekend.
If Cremonese are to get a result, they may well hope to do so from the penalty spot. Sassuolo have already conceded two spot-kicks this season, with the mobility of their strikers a real issue.

Cremonese team news
Few changes are expected from Masimilano Alvini, who may look to hand Emanuele Valeri a start at left wing-back over Giacomo Quagliata. Felix Afena-Gyan is expected to start on the bench having signed from Roma last week, with Cyriel Dessers partnering David Okereke up front.
Sassuolo team news
Domenico Berardi has been ruled out of Sunday’s match with a hamstring injury, meaning Gregoire Defrel is expected to start on the right wing. Further problems for Hamed Traore and Mert Muldur mean that Alessio Dionisi has few options to rotate following Sassuolo’s midweek clash against Milan.
